Weekly Music Video

Today's music video is Jake Jake by Dhurata Dora. Her real name is Dhurata Murturi and she's an Albanian singer, born in Nuremberg, Bavaria  (Germany) to Kosovar Albanian parents. She released her debut single Vete kërkove in Kosovo in 2011. Her most popular singles include Get Down with Don Arbas, I Like dat and A bombi. She has also collaborated with Young Zerka on the 2014 song Roll.

Jake Jake came out in June 2018. The language is Albanian, although I'm not sure which dialect. Other Albanian singers I've come across speak and sing Gheg Albanian.

Note: Third party applications are blocked from playing (due to the record company), but if you click on the video you can watch it fine on YouTube. :)

 



Update 5/9/19: This video is now blocked in the UK. Can't understand why since I thought it was an official upload?! You can find a snippet of it here (seems to also be a bid for Dhurata to enter Eurovision 2020!): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EuWxFSW8JbQ


Find the original on DailyMotion: https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x6n8msw

 
Update 2, 16/10/19: The 2nd video is gone. Apparently the video has been blocked in other countries. Someone thought it's because she may enter Eurovision. The original video is still on DailyMotion (see above). You can also listen to a remix here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GuRFawlr1k8

Update 3- 7/3/24: Found the video on YouTube again:

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), ...
