More Summer Songs

Back in August 2016 I did a post of my Top 10 Summer Songs. You can check it out here: https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2016/08/top-10-summer-songs.html


Now since it's summer again and we're having what it one of the hottest days so far (31/32 Celsius in some places, which is hot for the UK!), I'm sharing some more summer songs. :)


Robin Thicke feat. Pharrell Williams

American/Canadian singer Robin Thicke's single Wanna Love You Girl has a great exotic beach vibe and was released in August 2005. It was a Weekly Music Video back in May 2012: https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2012/05/weekly-music-video_30.html


Hadise- Yaz Günu

Turkish Belgian singer Hadise's 2015 single Yaz Günu translates as "Summer Day" in English and has a suitable video to accompany it! It was released in May 2015 and I featured it as a Weekly Music Video in July that year: https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2015/07/weekly-music-video.html



Mila J- Kickin' Back

Mila's single Kickin' Back is on her EP 213 and was released in July 2016. It has parts that are similar to Will Smith and Jazzy Jeff's Summertime (which is in my first Summer Songs post) and Aaliyah's A Girl Like You. Nice, laid-back summer vibe.  I featured it as my Weekly Music Video 2 years ago: https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2016/07/weekly-music-video_13.html

 
Update 23/7/21: I have since learnt that all 3 songs sampled Kool & the Gang's Summer Madness! :)


Calvin Harris + Dua Lipa- One Kiss

Calvin and Dua's  On Kiss came out in May and it suits the summer season: https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2018/05/weekly-music-video_41.html

Yemi Alade- How I Feel

Nigerian singer Yemi's single How I Feel features lots of beach and yacht scenes! It was a Weekly Music Video in June: https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2018/06/weekly-music-video_36.html
5 Seconds of Summer- Youngblood


Their name has summer is in it, so I'm including 5SOS' latest single Youngblood! Check it out here: https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2018/06/weekly-music-video_27.html



Jessi- Down

Korean American rapper and singer Jessi's latest single has a tropical sound and beach video which fits this time of year. Jessi (full name Jessica Hyun-ju Ho) was born and raised in the US and moved to Korea aged 15. She's been releasing music since 2005. Her debut EP Un2verse was released in July 2017.

The video for Down was uploaded to Youtube on 6th July. It's a mixture of Korean and English.

Hope you're enjoying the summer. I danced at an event with my belly dance group at midday today and it was really hot! I'm staying indoors for the rest of the day, lol. It's 30C (86F) in my town this evening.


Hope you like the songs! What is your summer soundtrack? :)

25th Anniversary of Mariah Carey's Butterfly Album

My favourite singer Mariah Carey recently released a 25th anniversary edition of her 6th studio album Butterfly. The original album was released on 16th September 1997 and featured songs such as her hit single Honey, The Roof and My All. It was actually the first album I ever bought (on cassette tape, lol) and I still consider it one of my fave MC albums. :) Butterfly was the first album that Mariah had more control over and it is R'n'B, rather than the pop (and later pop/R'n'B) of her previous releases. It also has pop and hip hop influences. The expanded edition contain 8 extra tracks (the original standard edition has 12)- a duet version of Whenever You Call with Brian McKnight , a new take on The Roof featuring Brandy , live versions of Butterfly and My All, acapella versions of Fourth of July and Outside, an Amorphous Anniversary Club Mix of Butterfly (with DJ Amorphous ) and a remix of Honey (Another Taste of Honey David Morales Mix). I had previously heard the D...

New Unexpected

We're finally getting the new season of the reality TV series Unexpected in the UK! Season 3 was shown in the US last summer , and I wondered when we'd get it here. I don't have any online streaming services so thought I'd just watch clips on YouTube, lol. However it's now starting here in early March. Similar to the popular MTV franchise Teen Mom , Unexpected focuses on teen parents. The first series featured 3 couples expecting babies- Lily Bennett and her boyfriend James Kennedy who have daughter Aaliyah, now 2;  Mckayla Adkins and partner Caelan Morrison who have son Timothy, also known as Timmy (and now daughter Gracelynn , born in January 2019), and  Lexus Scheller and boyfriend Shayden Massey who have daughter Scarlett. Season 2 saw the departure of Lilly and the addition of 3 new pregnant girls and their partners- Laura Barron and her boyfriend (now husband) Tylor Stawmyor who have son Lucas (and have since had another baby , a 2nd son, who is named Leo), ...

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) 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 Pushpha 2...
