Summer Songs Round-up 2020-2021

We're well into summer now and it's been feeling like it with a mini heatwave in the UK! Back in June last year I wrote Summer Songs Round-up which shared the previous summer song posts on the blog. You can see that here: https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2020/06/summer-songs-round-up.html

Since then, I've shared a few more summer themed songs/videos, so here is a round-up of posts from 2020 to 2021. :) 

 

First up here is Asian Songs for Summer which features a variety of J-pop and K-pop songs): https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2020/07/asian-songs-for-summer.html

 

Jhené Aiko- Summer 2020

Next is Jhené Aiko's Summer 2020. This was released in July last year and was one of my favourite songs of 2020. I loved the chilled, relaxing vibes and featured it as a Weekly Music Video: https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2020/07/weekly-music-video_22.html

 

Krizbeatz feat. Mr Eazi and Vanessa Mdee- Pamela

Pamela by Nigerian record producer DJ Krizbeatz and featuring Mr Eazi and Vanessa Mdee, was a Weekly Music Video last November. However, the song was released in July 2020 and definitely fits the theme of summer: https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2020/10/weekly-music-video.html

 

TWICE- Alcohol Free

I featured K-pop girl group TWICE's newest single Alcohol Free in my latest New K-pop Releases post. It was released in June and has a great summery vibe! See it in the post here: https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2021/06/new-k-pop-releases.html

B Young- Come Alive

The latest single from British rapper and singer B Young also has a summer feel (both song and video!):  https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2021/06/weekly-music-video_23.html

 

lol- sun kissed love

Finally, here's the new single from Japanese mixed gender group lol. It's called sun kissed love (both the group name and song are written in lower case) and the video was uploaded on 15th July. It's an upbeat song about moving forward in life, with a summer theme  and a lovely beach video! Click "Subtitles/closed captions" for English subtitles! :)

Note: Avex videos are blocked from being shown on third party applications. If you click on the video, you can watch it fine on YouTube. :)

 



You can also find songs by TWICE and lol in the Asian Songs for Summer post. :) 

 

Hope you liked the post and that you're enjoying summer! (Or winter depending on your location!) :) What are your favourite summer songs?

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...
