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!).

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?

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. 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 Pushpha 2...
