New Music for 2020- Part 2

 Hope your year and decade is going well so far! :)  The other week I did a post featuring new music for 2020. You can view that here: https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2020/01/new-music-for-2020-part-1.html

Now here is Part 2 with more new music for the start of the year! :)

Alina Baraz- Trust

First  of all here is Trust, a new song by American singer Alina Baraz. It's an audio and was uploaded on 20th January. If you watch the video on YouTube you can see the lyrics in the description. :)



Lolo Zouai- Desert Rose (Official video)

Next is the official video for French/Algerian American singer Lolo Zouai's single Desert Rose. The song was originally released (or at least uploaded online) in 2018 and I first heard it last year. You can listen to the audio and read more about the story behind the song here: https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2019/04/weekly-music-video_17.html

Desert Rose (which is from Lolo's 2019 album High Highs to High Lows) has now been released as a single and the video premiered on 22nd Jan.



Tayna x Mozzik- Edhe ti

This is Edhe ti by Kosovo Albanian rappers Tayna and Mozzik. Tayna is probably most well known for the 2018 single Colombiana with DJ Phenom.

 Edhi ti translates from Albanian as "You too" in English  and came out on 22nd January.

(B.O.Y)- My Angel

Now for some K-pop! This is My Angel by Korean duo B.O.Y.  The duo is made up of Kookheon (real name Kim Guk Heon) and Yu Vin (full name Song Yu Vin), both former members of boyband MYTEEN.* They also go by B Of You and I think B.O.Y could also stand for  "Best of You" and "Both of You". They debuted on New Year's Eve (31st Dec).

My Angel was released on 7th January and is on B.OY's first mini album Phase One: YOU. The meaning behind the video is that one member is the sun and the other is the moon (sorry, I can't remember which is which!) and they're searching for each other.


Check out the boys' performance on Simply K-Pop on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-jT43ONp9j0

E-girls- Easy come, Easy go

Now for some J-pop! Easy Come Easy Go is a new song by Japanese girl group E-girls and it was released on 29th Jan on the EP of the same name.





Burna Boy feat. Jeremih and  Serani

Finally here is Secret, the new single by Nigerian singer Burna Boy. It features American singer Jermih and Jamaican dancehall artist Serani and is from Burna Boy's latest album African Giant. The audio was originally released last July and the video uploaded on 24th January.



Hope you enjoyed the post! :) What new songs are you listening to?

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 industry) 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 ...

K-pop Comebacks- BTS

Sorry the 2nd post is later again this week, I didn't manage to get it finished yesterday. :) Last month I started a mini series called K-pop Comebacks, featuring the comebacks of K-pop groups during 2026. The first one was about BLACKPINK and you can see it here:  https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2026/03/k-pop-comebacks-blackpink.html Today I'm focusing on BTS (one of the most popular Korean boybands ). They debuted in 2013 and are a 7-member group, made up of leader RM, formerly known as Rap Monster (real name Kim Nam Joon), SUGA (Min Yoon Gi), Jin (full name Kim Seok Jin), j-hope (Jung Ho-seok), Jimin (Park Ji Min), V (Kim Tae Hyung) and Jungkook (Jeon Jung Kook). * Since then, the boys have been very successful, not only in South Korea but internationally. They are probably one of the most well-known K-pop bands worldwide.  In June 2022, the group took a break while the members served their  mandatory military service in Korea and have also been concentrat...

Weekly Music Video

Sorry there wasn't a 2nd post last week, I was going through a bit of a stressful time and didn't manage to get one finished. :) This week's video is I CONDEMN by Australian singer and rapper The Kid LAROI . It was the first single from the deluxe version of his second album BEFORE I FORGET. The original album was released in January and the deluxe version came out on 24th April. It contains 9 extra tracks, including  I CONDEMN and latest single PIECES. I wasn't aware that there was a deluxe version until I saw that some new songs had appeared on Spotify! I like BEFORE I FORGET and my favourite songs from the original version are ME + YOU, JULY,  COME DOWN and RATHER BE featuring Australian rapper and singer Lithe . One of my fave songs on the deluxe version is QUIT YOU, and I also like HOLD STILL and I CONDEMN. The newest single PIECES came out on out the same day as the album. I CONDEMN was released on 17th April. As with the songs on the original BEFORE I FORGET, it...
