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

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
