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.

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?

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),
