New Music for 2021- Part 1

It's a brand-new year (hopefully it will be better than the last one!), so here is some new music for 2021! I've done this feature for the past 3 years. 

You can read 2020's posts here (plus see links for 2018 and 2019's posts):

Like last year, I'm writing a couple of posts. Some of these are actually from late last year because we're only just in January,  lol.

 

Britney Spears- Swimming in the Stars

This is Swimming in the Stars, a new song by American singer Britney Spears. It was released in early December and is from Britney's new album Glory (Deluxe Vinyl), out now. It's the deluxe version of her 2016 album Glory.

Swimming in the Stars is a laid-back pop, dancey song. This is the official visualiser (or visualizer). 




Britney + Backstreet Boys- Matches

Two ultimate 90s act came together when Britney teamed up with American boyband Backstreet Boys for the song Matches! (Nostalgia!!). It's light, fun pop.

It's cool to see them work together.  :) This is the audio.

Gen Neo- HOLD BACK

Now for some C-pop! This is HOLD BACK, the new song from Singaporean singer Gen Neo. It's from his 1st mini album AD ASTRA, which came out on 29th December.

The video for HOLD BACK premiered on New Year's Eve (31st December).

ZAYN- Vibez

Here is the new one from British singer Zayn (full name Zayn Malik), former member of One Direction turned solo singer. It was released on 8th January and is from his brand-new album Nobody Is Listening, which came out today.

The song has chilled out "vibez" which we could all do with! You can put your headphones on to listen in 360 Reality Audio (if you have it of course, which I don't!).


Listen to Nobody Is Listening (lol) at the links below:

Lana Del Rey- Chemtrails Over The Country Club

Finally, here is Chemtrails Over The Country Club, the new single by American singer Lana Del Rey. It was released on 11th January and is from her upcoming 7th studio album of the same name. The album is due out on 19th March. 

Chemtrails Over The Country Club has Lana's usual dreamy style. The video is a bit strange (it features Lana and her friends going through a transformation), but interesting!

 


Hope you liked the post. :) Stay tuned for another one sharing more new music. What are your current favourite new releases?

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...
