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?

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 ...

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...
