New BANKS Album

Yesterday American singer BANKS  released her 3rd album which is (appropriately!) called III. Last a month I did an Upcoming Album Releases post about her album and Swedish/British singer Mabel's album Mad Love (due out in August). You can read it here: https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2019/06/upcoming-album-releases.html

I was really looking forward to BANKS' new album, since I have her first two (Goddess and The Altar) and her EP LONDON, and really like them. III is also a good album; she's experimented with new sounds on here and still has a unique style. I'd say Gimme is the song most similar to her previous stuff.

III consists of 13 tracks, including the previously released single Gimme, Look What You're Doing To Me and the new song Contaminated, which just came out. My favourite songs are Gimme (I bought that when it came out), Hawaiian Mazes, Till Now, Stroke, Alaska and Propaganda.

Here some of my faves. Most of the videos are visualisers and if you watch them on YouTube you'll find the lyrics. Please note that some of the songs are explicit. :)

  
Gimme

This is the 1st single from III, was released in April. Watch the video here:

Look What You're Doing To Me feat. Francis and the Lights

This is the second single from the album, released last month. It features Francis & the Lights, an American pop project fronted by Francis Farewell Starlite. I updated the Upcoming Albums posts to include the lyric video: https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2019/06/upcoming-album-releases.html


Contaminated

Contaminated is the third single and came out on 10th July, two days before III. This is the visualizer video:


Update 27/8/19: There's now a lyric video for Contaminated:


Stroke

This has a lighter feel to it and a kind of dreamy vibe!



Hawaiian Mazes

My favourite song apart from Gimme. It reminds me of older R'n'B songs, like from the 90s.


Propaganda

Propaganda is another R'n'B song, with a laid back beat. I like the music in the background.

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...
