New Music for 2021- Part 2

The other week I did a post sharing some new music for 2021. I'm doing a couple of posts like previous years.  You can read Part 1 here: https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2021/01/new-music-for-2021-part-1.html

Now here is Part 2. :)

 

Mr Eazi feat. J. Balvin- Lento

Nigerian singer and producer Mr Eazi has teamed up with Colombian singer J Balvin for the song Lento.  It's sung in a mixture of Spanish, English and Yoruba which is a cool mix! It was also inspired by Merengue singer Elvis Crespo's song Suvamente.  Lento means "Slow" in English.

Lento is Mr Eazi and J Balvin's third collaboration together, but their first actual single release. It actually came out in early December, but the music video was uploaded on 22nd Dec. Since we're still in January, I thought I'd share it today! 


There's also an official dance video which you can see here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dfsj1YtiTNc

Jennifer Lopez- In The Morning

One of my favourite singers Jennifer Lopez released her new single In The Morning back in November. And now a video has been released this month.

The video for In The Morning video premiered on 15th January and symbolises a dark, one-sided relationship. There's no word on a new album yet, but I'll keep you updated! :)



Also, Jennifer just celebrated 20 years of her album J.Lo. It was also 20 years in December since the lead single Love Don't Cost A Thing was released. I remember when they both came out, seems crazy that it's been so long! lol. 

J.Lo did a short video to celebrate. Check it out here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fd89TgB-CgQ

 

CHUNG HA- X 

Now onto some K-pop! This is X, the 3rd single by Korean singer Chung Ha. It's from her first studio album Querencia, due out on 15th February. I think the title is the Spanish word for "Haunt".

X was released on 19th January.

 



ZAYN feat. Syd- When Love's Around

Two weeks ago, I featured British singer Zayn's new single in the Part 1 post. It's from his new album Nobody Is Listening. Here's another song from the album that I like. It's called When Love's Around and features American singer Syd

This is the official audio.

 

Watch the  Vibez video here: https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2021/01/new-music-for-2021-part-1.html

And follow Syd on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/syd/

 

JoJo- American Mood

Finally, here's a brand new song from American singer JoJo. It's called American Mood and is a folk style song. JoJo and her friends wrote it a few years ago, and she says that it still applies now (to America's current situation. I think). 

American Mood came out today. Proceeds from the single go to the I Have a Dream Foundation which helps young people from low-income communities. 



Hope you liked the post! :) Which new releases are you looking forward to in 2021?

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.

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...
