C-pop Saturday

Time for another C-pop Saturday! :)

Jolin Tsai- Womxnly

First of all here is Taiwanese singer Jolin's song Womnxly which was a Weekly Music Video last month: https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2019/03/weekly-music-video_27.html


Jolin- Lady in Red

This is the latest song from Jolin. The video which was uploaded on 1st April, is about love and betrayal by a friend.  If you view it on YouTube itself and click "Subtitles/closed captions" you can see English subtitles. :)

Both Womxnly and Lady in Red are from Jolin's latest album, UGLY BEAUTY which was released in December.

Please note: This video contains scenes that some viewers may find disturbing. It's age restricted on YouTube.



Nick Chou and Tia Ray- Lincoln MKC

I came across this a while ago and couldn't read the Chinese, so wasn't sure who exactly it was! But after reading some YouTube comments I realised it was Nick Chou (NICKTHE REAL) and Tia Ray, and I think the song is for the launch of the Lincoln MKC car! I liked it, so thought I would include the video. :)

Nick (birth name Tang-Hao Chou, or Chou Tang-Hao) is a Taiwanese singer, rapper and actor who launched his solo career in 2010. His mum Billie Wang is an actress and his dad Chou Yu-Hou also works in the film industry. At 15 Nick went to study in America and was spotted by a representative of SM ENTERTAINMENT (one of the biggest and most well known South Korean music companies or THE biggest really). He was offered a place in the K-pop boyband Super Junior but decided not to take it up.

In 2009 Nick featured in Jolin Tsai's Real Man video and went on to release his debut self titled album in July 2010. To date he has released two more albums, S.N.G. (2012) and REAL (2016).

His acting credits include the Taiwanese romantic comedy TV series I Love You So Much (2012)and the 2017 TV series Love, Timeless.

Nick speaks fluent Taiwanese Mandarin and English.

The video for Lincoln MKC was uploaded in December (on Christmas Eve).

And if you're a Tia fan, here's the video for her song Lucky Star with Jackson Wang of K-pop band GOT7 (featured in a previous C-pop Saturday as well): https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2018/07/weekly-music-video.html

Diana Wang- Hello, I said

Hello, I said is the latest single from Dutch Chinese singer Diana Wang, released in March.  It's an acoustic R'n'B song produced by Khalil Fong.

Hello, I said is an English language song with an encouraging message. It has a nice, chilled out vibe. :)


Lexie Liu- Bygone

Finally here's Bygone by Lexie Liu, from her latest EP 2020, which came out in February. I recently bought this along with Outta Time on iTunes, they're my two favourite songs from the EP. This is the official audio and it's a mixture of Chinese (I think Mandarin) and English.

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
