Weekly Music Video

This week's video is Make it Hot by Jamaican/American trio Major Lazer and Brazilian singer Anitta. Major Lazer was founded in 2008 by American record producer Diplo, and British DJ Switch. When Switch left, he was replaced by Jamaican American DJ Walshy Fire and Trinidadian DJ Jillionaire, and the duo became a trio. Jillionaire also left and was then replaced by American DJ and record producer Ape Drums.

Major Lazer's music is electronic dance mixed with various genres, including reggae, dancehall and house. To date they have released 4 studio albums- Guns Don't Kill People...Lazers Do (2009), Free the Universe (2013), Peace Is The Mission (2015) and Music Is The Weapon (2020. In addition, they have brought out one compilation and several remix albums and EPs. They also have an animated TV series based on them!

The group have collaborated wth many arists, and their hit singles include Lean On with DJ Snake and MØ, Who Am I with Katy B and Craig David, Cold Water with Justin Bieber and MØ, and Leg Over Remix with Mr Eazi, French Montana and Ty Dolla $ign. My favourite of these is Lean On. :)

Anitta and Major Lazer have also worked together on the song Sua Cara with Brazilian drag queen and singer Pabllo Vittar. Anitta is set to release her 5th album Girl from Rio this year.

Make It Hot was released in June 2019. It's a Spanish language song.  I first saw the video on TV channel Trace Latina which they started showing it in the UK in 2019. They took it away last year for some reason though. 

Update 13/5/23: I had to replace the music video:





There doesn't seem to be an official upload of the music video, so I'm also including a link to the official lyric video (in case this one gets removed): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8GIcodbY9fc

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 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 ...
