New Music Releases

It's been a while since I did a general New Music Releases post (think the last one was July), although I did do a J-pop and K-pop one in March.  So here's a selection of new music from Western,  Korean and Japanese artists! :)


 Jennifer Lopez feat. French Montana- Medicine

One of my favourite singers Jennifer Lopez's latest single is Medicine. It features Moroccan American rapper French Montana (who has worked with Jennifer in the past on I Luh Ya Papi and the album version of Same Girl) and came out in early April.

Medicine is J.Lo's first release under record producer L.A. Reid's Hitco Entertainment. There's no official word on a new album yet (her last was 2014's AKA) but I'll keep you posted. :)


There's also an official lyric video that's just been uploaded. Watch it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OezPjD7Msp0


K..A.R.D- Bomb Bomb 

Korean group KARD (sometimes written as K.A.R.D) released their new single Bomb Bomb in late March (so not as new now but I thought I'd include it!). It's their first digital single.



 BananaLemon- #Slaysian

Japanese girl group BananaLemon have a new one called #Slayasian. Member R!NO left the band last year due to health issues. This year new member Lety joined. She's a former member of the group Def Will. Lety is half Japanese and half Brazilian. Since I'm mixed race I love the fact that the group contains several mixed members (Saarah is Japanese and African American and Nadia has mixed Asian and European heritage). :)

#Slaysian came out in late April.

BTS feat. Halsey- Boy with Luv

K-pop boyband BTS released their new single Boy with Luv last month. It features American singer Halsey and has been very popular. They've been showing the music video on the music channels here in the UK, which isn't common for K-pop songs! (BLACKPINK's Kill This Love is also popular over here). It's broken records for being the most viewed YouTube video in the first 24 hours after its release.

Boy with Luv is from BTS' 6th EP Map of the Soul: Persona. Click "Subtitles/closed captions while viewing the video on YouTube to see English subtitles. :)


ZAYN- Sour Diesel (video)

Last July British singer ZAYN (full name Zayn Malik), released the single Sour Diesel. It's on his 2nd album Icarus Falls which came out in December.

At the time there was no music video, just an audio which I featured in that month's New Music Releases post. But there's now a music video which came out last month, so here it is. :)


Also this week's Weekly Music Video was Era Istrefi's latest single Nuk E Di featuring her sister Nora: https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2019/05/weekly-music-video.html


Update:

 NU'EST- BET BET

Just seen this video for the new single BET BET by Korean boyband NU'EST and thought I would include it! It's from their 6th mini album Happily Ever After and completes the "Three-part Knight Series" which started in 2016.

After the return of  Minhyun at the beginning of the year (who took a hiatus from the group while working with Wanna One), NU'EST are back to 5 members and performing under their original name, instead of NU'EST W. :)

Both BET BET and Happily Ever After were released on 29th April.


 Update 6/5/19: A choreography video has just been uploaded. You can watch it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_0Q2HSZaamI

That's it! Hope you liked the post. :) What's your favourite new song?

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...
