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

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
