Summer Songs Round-up

Today is the first official day of summer of the Northern Hemisphere. It's the Summer Solstice (also known as Litha) which occurs around 21st June every year. If you're interested in reading more about it check out this Litha + Summer Inspiration post over on my other blog The Seasonal Life: https://livingseasonal.blogspot.com/2020/06/litha-summer-inspiration.html

For the past few years I've done posts featuring summer songs, so this year  I thought I would do a round-up of previous blog posts plus share a couple of new ones. And later on in the summer I'll probably do a new post. Although this summer is likely to look different to previous ones, due to the coronavirus pandemic, and resulting lockdowns/quarantines and restrictions still in place in many countries, hopefully we can still enjoy it.

So here's the round-up and I hope the songs get you inspired for summer. :)





My recent New K-pop Releases post features Chung Ha's Be Yourself, which is the song for the new Sprite Korea summer campaign: https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2020/06/new-k-pop-releases.html

RIRI, KEIJU (prod. Nariaki Obukuro)- Summertime

Last May Japanese singer RIRI released the EP Summertime and the lead single of the same  name was used in an advert for the Japanese sunscreen brand Anessa. She teamed up with rap artist KEIJU (of hip hop crew KANDYTOWN) for the Japanese language track which was produced by Nariaki Obukuro.



Julia Wu- Summertime (Julia Wu Remix)

There is also a remix version by Australian born Chinese singer Julia Wu which was released last June. It's an English and Chinese version.

I can't post the music video directly on the blog but here's a preview:







Hope you like the post. :) Happy Summer! (Or Happy Winter to those in the Southern Hemisphere)!

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),
