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, which 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

And here's an unofficial upload (with Thai subtitles!):

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. :)

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...

K-pop Comebacks- BTS

Sorry the 2nd post is later again this week, I didn't manage to get it finished yesterday. :) Last month I started a mini series called K-pop Comebacks, featuring the comebacks of K-pop groups during 2026. The first one was about BLACKPINK and you can see it here:  https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2026/03/k-pop-comebacks-blackpink.html Today I'm focusing on BTS (one of the most popular Korean boybands ). They debuted in 2013 and are a 7-member group, made up of leader RM, formerly known as Rap Monster (real name Kim Nam Joon), SUGA (Min Yoon Gi), Jin (full name Kim Seok Jin), j-hope (Jung Ho-seok), Jimin (Park Ji Min), V (Kim Tae Hyung) and Jungkook (Jeon Jung Kook). * Since then, the boys have been very successful, not only in South Korea but internationally. They are probably one of the most well-known K-pop bands worldwide.  In June 2022, the group took a break while the members served their  mandatory military service in Korea and have also been concentrat...
