New Music Releases

We're now properly into autumn (or spring, depending where you live) so here are some new music releases for the new season!  :)


Gen Neo- Why We Waiting

First up is Why We Waiting by Gen Neo.  His full name is Liang Gen Rong, and he is from Singapore. Gen Neo attended the Berklee College of Music in the US, and then started his career by moving to South Korea and becoming a producer and composer. He set up the production team Noize Bank, along with Canadian singer Henry Lau (former member of Super Junior-M turned solo singer), Isaac Han and Neil Nallas.

Gen has produced music for many artists including his friend Henry, boyband GOT7, girl group f(x) and Super Junior. In 2015 he debuted as a singer in Korea, with the single Think About Us. In late 2016 he returned to the Mandopop (Mandarin language Chinese pop) market, and released his debut EP Dimensions the following August. 

Gen's music is a mixture of K-pop, Mandopop and R'n'B. His singles include On My Own with Amber Liu of f(x), Missing You featuring Tracy Wang, Come With Me, Will You Won't You featuring Fei (member of now disbanded girl group missA), Over You, Mine with Sam Rui and his latest, Why We Waiting.  He has also worked with Casper True on the single Body.

Why We Waiting is a Mandarin language R'n'B song, with some English lyrics. Casper True co-wrote the song. It was released on 7th September. This is the audio.

Update 20/1/24: The audio/video has now been made members only, whch is a shame! Here's the link if you're a member of Gen's YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3LXDN1OV_uU

Justin Bieber feat. Chance the Rapper- Holy

Next is Holy, the new single from Canadian singer Justin Bieber. It features Chance the Rapper and the video premiered on 18th September. Justin and Chance previously worked together on the single Confident.

Justin latest album is Changes (featuring lead single Yummy) which was released back in February.  On the YouTube page it says that Holy signals the start of a new era for him. I look forward to hearing more of his new music! :) 



 

Jennifer Lopez & Maluma- Pa Ti + Lonely

Here are two new releases by one of my favourite singers, Jennifer Lopez! She's teamed up with Columbian singer Maluma for the Spanish language song Pa Ti (For You ) and Lonely, which is a mix of Spanish and English.

Jennifer and Maluma are co-stars in the upcoming film Marry Me (due out next February) and both will be featured on the soundtrack. So, we get two songs in one and a video of nearly 9 minutes with a connected storyline! 

My favourite out of the two is Lonely. The video premiered on 24th September. Please note that Lonely is explicit. :)

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
