Weekly Music Video

It's been a while since I've featured Japanese American singer Utada Hikaru (or Hikaru Utada in the Western way) on the blog. Utada is her surname/family name but also her mononym/stage name).

She took a hiatus in 2011 but returned to music in late 2012 with the single Sakura Nagashi (Flowing Cherry Blossoms). In December 2013 she celebrated the 15th anniversary  of her debut under her real name in Japan (she originally released music under the stage name Cubic U).

In 2016 Utada (also known as Hikki) released her 6th Japanese language studio album, Fantôme and last June she brought out Hatsukkoi (First Love), her 7th Japanese album. Her last English one was 2009's This Is The One (a good album!).

This is Too Proud which appears on Hatsukkoi featuring British rapper/producer Jevon. This is a remix which features Japanese singer Yo-Sea. It's an audio and was uploaded to YouTube in February. It's in Japanese and English and the lyrics are at the bottom of the video. (Not that I can read Japanese but I can understand the English ones!). :)




Listen to the original Too Proud here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LaK02z4Dob8


Utatda's latest single is Face My Fears with American DJ and record producer Skrillex,  the opening theme for the video game Kingdom Hearts III. Watch the video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kvnwnf9UftA

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), ...
