New K-pop Releases

It's been a while since I did a K-pop post (apart from the K-pop in Public- Boys' Edition! post, the last K-pop videos one was in January), so today I'm sharing some new Korean releases! :)

 

MONSTA X- GAMBLER

First up,  here is boyband MONSTA X's new single GAMBLER, which is the first release from their 9th Korean mini album One Of A Kind.

Member Shownu is currently taking a break from the group due to health issues, so MONSTA X will promote the new mini album as a five-piece.

GAMBLER was released on 1st June.

Ex-member Wonho also has a new release, the single Ain't About You featuring American singer Kiiara. Watch the video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lqKXq-_32z8

 

 

EXO- Don't fight the feeling

Next is Don't fight the feeling, the new single from fellow boyband EXO. It came out on 7th June and is the title track of their special album, also called DON'T FIGHT THE FEELING (relased on the same day).




 

TWICE- Alcohol-Free

Now for the girls! This is Alcohol-Free, the latest single by girl group TWICE. It's from their 10th mini album Taste of Love which was released on 10th June.  

Alcohol-Free is the lead single and came out on the 9th.





BTS- Butter

A "newish release is BTS' Butter which came out in May. It's been No. 1 on the American Billboard Hot 100 Chart fot 3 weeks. Check it out here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WMweEpGlu_U


Hope you liked the post! :) I said back in January that I planned to share more K-pop this year, but we're already halfway through 2021 and I haven't posted much! Never mind lol. I can share more during the second half. :) I am missing Pops in Seoul which abruptly ended in April. :( I first saw it when we got the Arirang TV channel in the UK, in September 2016. But at least there is still Simply K-Pop and YouTube to keep with K-pop!

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...
