Weekly Music Video

Today's video is Youngblood by 5 Seconds of Summer. They are an Australian band consisting of 4 members. The group was formed by schoolfriends Luke Hemmings, Calum Hood and Michael Clifford in 2011. They started out by posting cover songs on YouTube and were joined by Ashton Irwin at the end of 2011, who they found through Facebook.

5 Seconds of Summer (or 5SOS) signed a deal with Sony ATV Music Publishing, then  released their first original song Gotta Get Out  and debut EP Unplugged in June 2012. Debut single She Looks So Perfect  came out in 2014, followed by their self titled debut album in the summer 2014. To date 5SOS have released 7 EPs-  including their debut, Somewhere New (2012), She Looks So Perfect (2014), Good Girls (2014) and She's Kinda Hot (2015); and 3 studio albums- 5 Seconds of Summer, Sounds Good Feels Good (2015) and their latest Youngblood. Their singles include Out of My Limit, She looks So Perfect, Don't Stop, Good Girl, She's Kinda Hot, Girls Talk Boys, Want You Back and Youngblood.

Youngblood is the second single from the album of the same name, which came out on 15th June. The single  was released in April but I've only seen the video on UK TV this month. In May it became the band's 2nd No 1 in Australia (the first was She Looks So Perfect). I haven't liked their other songs that much, but I like this one. :)




Update 18/8/18: There's now another music video called Official Video (the other one is called Alt Version) that was uploaded on 2nd August. Check it out here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-RJSbO8UZVY

South Indian Videos

I've written several Bollywood posts this year but I don't feature South Indian music/films as much. So today I'm sharing some music and dance videos from Tollywood ( the Telugu language film industry) and Kollywood (the Tamil language film industry). :) Oo Antava Mawa- Pushpa- Dance Cover by Sonali First up is a dance cover of the song Oo Antava Mawa..Oo Oo Antava from the 2021 Tollywood film Pushpa: The Rise- Part 1 . I previously featured a dance cover of Oo Antava Mawa in a Dance Videos post in August last year. That one is by Rang De and you can see it here: https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2023/08/dance-videos.html This cover is by Indian choreographer Sonali Bhaduria, from LiveToDance with Sonali and was uploaded in January 2022. It's a shorter video.   For more on Pushpa and to watch the official Oo Antava Mawa video, check out my Tollywood Videos Round-up 2 post from September 2023: https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2023/09/tollywood-videos-round-up-2.html ...

K-pop Comebacks- BTS

Sorry the 2nd post is later again this week, I didn't manage to get it finished yesterday. :) Last month I started a mini series called K-pop Comebacks, featuring the comebacks of K-pop groups during 2026. The first one was about BLACKPINK and you can see it here:  https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2026/03/k-pop-comebacks-blackpink.html Today I'm focusing on BTS (one of the most popular Korean boybands ). They debuted in 2013 and are a 7-member group, made up of leader RM, formerly known as Rap Monster (real name Kim Nam Joon), SUGA (Min Yoon Gi), Jin (full name Kim Seok Jin), j-hope (Jung Ho-seok), Jimin (Park Ji Min), V (Kim Tae Hyung) and Jungkook (Jeon Jung Kook). * Since then, the boys have been very successful, not only in South Korea but internationally. They are probably one of the most well-known K-pop bands worldwide.  In June 2022, the group took a break while the members served their  mandatory military service in Korea and have also been concentrat...

Weekly Music Video

Sorry there wasn't a 2nd post last week, I was going through a bit of a stressful time and didn't manage to get one finished. :) This week's video is I CONDEMN by Australian singer and rapper The Kid LAROI . It was the first single from the deluxe version of his second album BEFORE I FORGET. The original album was released in January and the deluxe version came out on 24th April. It contains 9 extra tracks, including  I CONDEMN and latest single PIECES. I wasn't aware that there was a deluxe version until I saw that some new songs had appeared on Spotify!

I CONDEMN was released on 17th April. As with the songs on the original BEFORE I FORGET, it...
