Current Favourite Songs

I have an occasional feature where I share my current favourite songs, but it seems to end up being once a year, lol. Never mind! You can check out the previous posts below:

Although I have my "all time faves" and other songs I listen to a lot, my current favourites vary. So, here's what I'm into currently. :)

Gen Neo- HOLD BACK and WHERE TO GO

First up are the songs HOLD BACK and WHERE TO GO by the Singaporean singer Gen Neo. They're both from his first EP Ad Astra. I previously featured them in the posts below:

Sabrina Carpenter- Honeymoon Fades

Next up is Honeymoon Fades by Sabrina Carpenter. She is an American singer and actress who started out in TV. Her career took off after she played Maya in Girl Meets World, the spin-off from the 90s series Boy Meets World (nostalgia!). 

Sabrina launched her music career in March 2014 with the single Can't Blame a Girl for Trying, followed by her debut EP of the same name in April that year. She released her debut studio album Eyes Wide Open in April 2015. 

To date Sabrina has released one more EP, Pandora Sessions (2017) and 3 more albums- Evolution (2016), Singular: Act 1 (2018) and Singular: Act II (2019). Her singles include Eyes Wide Open, Alien with British DJ Jonas Blue, Almost Love, Sue Me, In My Bed, Honeymoon Fades and her latest, Skin. 

I discovered this song randomly on Spotify! I'd heard of Sabrina but hadn't listened to her music before. I really liked it when I first heard it.

Honeymoon Fades is from Singular: Act II and came out in February 2020. It's about hoping that a relationship stays passionate after the initial "honeymoon phase". This is an audio.

Karun- I Know 

Finally, here is I Know by Kenyan singer Karun. It's from her new EP Catch A Vibe. I like the chilled, almost melancholy vibe.

This is the official lyric video and was uploaded on 5th March. 

 

Check out the video for the title track from Catch A Vibe here: https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2021/02/weekly-music-video_24.html

 

I'm also still listening to The Boyz' Reveal and SuperM's One (Monster & Infinity), both K-pop. Watch the videos for both songs here: https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2020/11/more-videos-from-my-youtube-playlist-j.html

 

Hope you enjoyed the post! :) What are you listening to at the moment?

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

Debut XG Mini Album

Japanese girl group XG have released their 1st mini album. It's called NEW DNA and was released on 27th September. XG (whose name is short for Xtraordinary Girls) made their debut in March last year and have brought out 7 singles so far- Tippy Toes, MASCARA, LEFT RIGHT/SHOOTING STAR double single), GVRL GANG , TGIF, NEW DANCE and PUPPET SHOW. The first 3 songs (or 4 including the double single) aren't on the mini album. The concept behind NEW DNA is that of being a "new species" free from conventions and limitations .  Although the group is Japanese, their creation was inspired by Korean music and they are based in South Korea. They have released songs in English so far and have been described as a global group and "X-pop". NEW DNA consists of 6 tracks- HESONO, X-GENE, GVRL GANG, TGIF, NEW DANCE and PUPPET SHOW. It is an R'n'B/pop mini album with influences from other genres, such as K-pop, dance and hip hop. My favourite song is PUPPET SHOW. I al
