C-pop Saturday

Time for another C-pop Saturday! I started this feature in April and thought I could it make a regular one. (It's August now so maybe not so regular, but never mind! lol). You can read the first post here: https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2018/04/c-pop-saturday.html


Kris Wu- Tian Di

Chinese Canadian singer Kris Wu (a former member of Korean/Chinese boyband EXO) released the single Tian Di in June. It translates as "Heaven and Earth" in English.  Check out the video here: https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2018/06/weekly-music-video_13.html


Kris Wu- Hold Me Down

Another one from Kris, this is Hold Me Down (Chinese version). It says it's an official video but it's not Kris' channel, so I may replace this if it gets uploaded to his official YouTube.


Update 2/1/19: The original video I posted has been blocked on copyright grounds but here is the audio from his official channel:


And a video for the English version of Hold Me Down was uploaded on New Year's Eve:

Tia Ray feat. Jackson Wang- Lucky Star

Last month I featured Lucky Rain by Chinese singer Tia Ray featuring Hong Kong singer Jackson Wang (from K-pop boyband GOT7). You can watch the video here: https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2018/07/weekly-music-video.html



 Tia Ray- I Will Always Love You

This is the latest single by Tia, which was released on 15th August. It's from her 2nd album TIARA. Nice, relaxing song.





Loura Lou- Mirage

This is Mirage by Loura Lou. Her Chinese name is Lou Yixiao (her surname is Lou) and she's an actress and singer from Liaoning. She started out as an actress in Chinese TV shows before launching a music career in 2012 with the single Little World. She's probably best known for playing Hu Yifei in the romantic comedy series iPartment.

Loura is signed to Warner Music. Mirage is her latest song. It's another one with a chilled out vibe.





Hope you enjoyed the post! :) What are your current favourite C-pop songs?

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

Debut XG Mini Album

Japanese girl group XG have released their 1st mini album. It's called NEW DNA and was released on 27th September. XG (whose name is short for Xtraordinary Girls) made their debut in March last year and have brought out 7 singles so far- Tippy Toes, MASCARA, LEFT RIGHT/SHOOTING STAR double single), GVRL GANG , TGIF, NEW DANCE and PUPPET SHOW. The first 3 songs (or 4 including the double single) aren't on the mini album. The concept behind NEW DNA is that of being a "new species" free from conventions and limitations .  Although the group is Japanese, their creation was inspired by Korean music and they are based in South Korea. They have released songs in English so far and have been described as a global group and "X-pop". NEW DNA consists of 6 tracks- HESONO, X-GENE, GVRL GANG, TGIF, NEW DANCE and PUPPET SHOW. It is an R'n'B/pop mini album with influences from other genres, such as K-pop, dance and hip hop. My favourite song is PUPPET SHOW. I al
