Current Favourite Songs

Today I thought I'd write about some of my current favourite songs for a change. On my other blog The Seasonal Life I wrote a quick list in my May Update, so I had the idea to expand more on it here. May make this  a regular feature! :)

Janine songs

Never The Right Time

I first heard of New Zealand singer Janine in 2017 but started listening to her music more recently. Never The Right Time is one of my current fave songs and it was a Weekly Music Video last month. Watch it here: https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2019/05/weekly-music-video_8.html

Believed In You

I listened to her album 99 on Spotify and ended up buying Never The Right Time and Believe in You on iTunes a couple of weeks ago. Here's Believe In You:


Be By Myself

I also bought Be By Myself a few days ago. Please note that the song is explicit. :)



Also check out Numb which I bought at the same time as Be By Myself: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SX365sQKBxI


BANKS- Gimme

This is BANKS' first solo release for two years and  I recently featured it as a Weekly Music Video: https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2019/05/weekly-music-video_22.html

She's got an album coming out in July, which I'm looking forward to. :)

NU'EST- BET BET

One of my current favourite K-pop songs is NU'EST's BET BET.  Check out May's New Music Releases post to watch the video here: https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2019/05/new-music-releases.html

They also have a dance practise video:


Another of my fave NU'EST songs as NU'EST W) is Where You At.

Kris Wu- Explore

I've bought Explore (from Kris' debut album Antares) a few months ago and still listen to it a lot.  Visit this post to listen to it: https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2019/01/weekly-music-video_16.html

JULY is one of my fave Kris songs as well. :)


Lexie Liu- Outta Time and Bygone

Now onto to C-pop! (Kris Wu has some Chinese language songs too but Explore is English).  I bought these two Lexie songs in April and have been listening to them a lot as well. Check out this C-pop Saturday post to hear them: https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2019/04/c-pop-saturday.html


So that's it! Hope you enjoyed the post. :) What music are you into currently?

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

Two singers I like, Jennifer Lopez and JoJo have new music out, so today I'm sharing it on the blog!

Watch the video with the original mix here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yZM52M6cfSA Baila Conmigo (J.Lo version) came out on 10th October. This is an audio but if there's a music video later, I'll update the post. :) Want more J.Lo?

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
