Current Favourite Songs

Last June I did a post about my current favourite songs. I didn't actually realise it was almost a year ago! I thought about making it a regular feature at the time, but obviously I didn't, lol. Never mind! You can read last year's post here: https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2019/06/current-favourite-songs.html

I listen to a lot of music and while I have my "all time" fave songs, my current favourites change. (Although I'm still listening to Janine a lot and Kru Wu's Explore is still one of my fave songs of his).  So here's what I'm listening to at the moment. :)


MIREI- Lazy Boy

I first came across the Japanese singer MIREI (full name Touyama Mirei, or Mirei Touyama in Western terms) in March when I heard her song Lonely In Tokyo (see below) in March. She released her international English language album Take Me Away in January.

This is Lazy Boy which was the third single from Take Me Away and was released in January. It's about having nostalgia for a past boyfriend, even though the relationship wasn't the best. 

This isn't a music video, just an audio with still images. :)



MIREI- Lonely in Tokyo

My second  fave song from Take Me Away. I bought this on iTunes, along with Lazy Boy.  Lonely in Tokyo is about the dark side of life in Tokyo. I featured it as a Weekly Music Video in March: https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2020/03/weekly-music-video.html



JoJo- So Bad

I was excited when American singer JoJo (full name Joanna Levesque) released her 4th album good to know (written in lower case) at the beginning of the month, but to be honest I don't like it as much as her previous release Mad Love. It still has some good songs though :)

This is So Bad my favourite song from the album. It's about having a sexual relationship with a man involved with someone else. (Being a "side chick" aka "bit on the side" as someone notes in the comments!).

This is the official audio.



JoJo- Gold

This is my second fave song from good to know. (As with the MIREI songs, I bought both these on iTunes). Gold is a love song , maybe a love/sex song?! This is also the official audio.



For Man, another song from good to know, visit this post: https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2020/03/new-jojo-video.html


Also I really like Alina Baraz's Morocco featuring 6LACK and The Beginning. Check out my post about her album It Was Divine here: https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2020/04/alina-baraz-debut-album.html


So those are my current favourite songs. Hope you liked the post! :) What are you listening to at the moment?

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
