New K-pop Releases

It's been a while since I featured new K-pop releases on the blog. Actually, I don't think I've done a post with just new K-pop songs since the beginning of last year! I did share some K-pop videos from my YouTube playlist last month though.

So today I'm sharing some new Korean releases. :)

Chung Ha- Stay Tonight

First up is Chung Ha (also written as Chungha), a solo singer (who was also a member of now disbanded project group I.O.I. This is Stay Tonight which was released in late April, so it's new-ish, lol.



Chung Ha- Be Yourself

And here is Chung Ha's latest release Be Yourself, which came out on 9th June. It's an upbeat dancey pop song, and is actually an ad for Sprite as part of the Korean Sprite summer campaign! The man in the video is model Jung Hyuk.




Slightly off topic question: Which do you prefer 7Up or Sprite? 7Up has always been my favourite, I used to drink it regularly for years but I cut down on it for my dental health (mostly stopped drinking it). I occasionally have both 7-up and Sprite now though.

Chung Ha also recently collaborated with rapper pH-1 on the song My Friend, which was produced by Zion T. Watch the video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7NV2rzS7VJQ



GOT7- NOT BY THE MOON

This is NOT BY THE MOON by boyband GOT7. Again it's "new-ish" since it was released in  April! It's the lead single from their 11th EP Dye, released on the 20th.

It's a love song, quite intense sounding if you see the English subtitles! (Click "Subtitles/closed captions" while viewing on YouTube). The English translation of the lyrics on YouTube is "Dye yourself with me, so I can be inside you, and also you can be inside me. We can be together forever".



Check out the performance video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xegzT6pPIb0

And for Jackson Wang's solo song 100 Ways (English language) visit this post:


NU'EST- I'm in Trouble


Here's the latest from boyband NU'EST.  It's called I'm in Trouble and is the title track of their 8th mini album [The Nocturne], released on 11th May. The song is about realising you're in trouble when you first fall intensely in love with someone.



MONSTA X- FANTASIA

Finally here is FANTASIA, the new single from Monsta X. It's from their latest mini album FANTASIA X which came out in May. FANTASIA was released on 27th May, the same day as the mini album, I think.



Back in February Monsta X released their first English language album! You can read my post about it here: https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2020/02/monsta-x-debut-english-album.html


So that's it for now. Hope you enjoyed the post! :) What are your current favourite K-pop songs?

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), ...

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) 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.
