C-pop Saturday

Time for a new instalment of my semi-regular series C-pop Saturday! This will probably be my last one of the year.:)


Diana Wang- Make You Feel

First up is Make You Feel by Dutch Chinese singer Diana Wang, a song with R'n'B vibes. It was released in August.



Also check out the video for Diana's latest single Machines: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dpdmHoTHilA


Rainie Yang-INDULGING

Here is INDULGING by Taiwanese singer Rainie Yang, who is also an actress and TV presenter. I think her full name is Yang Chen Lin (Yang is her surname/family name) and she is from Taipei. Rainie started out in the Taiwanese girl group 4 in Love in 2000 and was given the stage name Rainie. After the group disbanded, she moved into TV hosting and acting.

In September 2005 Rainie released her debut solo album My Intuition (Chinese title Ai Mei), in Manadarin. To date she has released 11 more albums, including Meeting Love (2006), Not Yet a Woman (2008), Longing For (2011), Delete Reset Grow (2019) and her latest LIKE A STAR, released in November 2020. LIKE A STAR marked her 20th anniversary in the music business. 

Rainie's singles include Youth Lies Within, Lesson in Love, Love is Love, Girls featuring Cyndi Wang, LIKE A STAR and INDULGING.

INDULGING was released in November last year and it's from the LIKE A STAR album. I think the Chinese title translates in English as "Drifting Bathroom". I like the fact that the song starts out like a ballad and then goes into dance/EDM.  If you click the subtitles option on YouTube, you can see English subtitles. :)

Kimberly Chen- always be my always

This is always be my always (written all in lower case) by Australian born, Taiwan based singer Kimberly Chen. The video premiered in October.

NICKTHEREAL- HEALTHY MIND

Here is HEALTHY MIND by Taiwanese singer NICKTHEREAL aka Nick Chou. It's actually an English language song (with the odd Chinese line), but I thought I'd include it. :)

HEALTHY MIND was released in September. Great beat and gives me summer vibes. (I'm feeling nostalgic for summer, especially since it's gone so cold right now!) The song reminds me of some old English song from the 90s, the style of singing (can't think of the group's name right now).

Please note that it contains swearing. :)


 

NICKTHEREAL- NEED YOU

And here's Nick's latest single NEED YOU. It's in English and Chinese, and the video premiered on 5th November. I love the cats in the video! :)



Hope you liked the post! :) What are your current favourite Chinese songs?

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 ...

Weekly Music Video

Sorry there wasn't a 2nd post last week, I was going through a bit of a stressful time and didn't manage to get one finished. :) This week's video is I CONDEMN by Australian singer and rapper The Kid LAROI . It was the first single from the deluxe version of his second album BEFORE I FORGET. The original album was released in January and the deluxe version came out on 24th April. It contains 9 extra tracks, including  I CONDEMN and latest single PIECES. I wasn't aware that there was a deluxe version until I saw that some new songs had appeared on Spotify! I like BEFORE I FORGET and my favourite songs from the original version are ME + YOU, JULY,  COME DOWN and RATHER BE featuring Australian rapper and singer Lithe . One of my fave songs on the deluxe version is QUIT YOU, and I also like HOLD STILL and I CONDEMN. The newest single PIECES came out on out the same day as the album. I CONDEMN was released on 17th April. As with the songs on the original BEFORE I FORGET, it...

K-pop Comebacks- BTS

Sorry the 2nd post is later again this week, I didn't manage to get it finished yesterday. :) Last month I started a mini series called K-pop Comebacks, featuring the comebacks of K-pop groups during 2026. The first one was about BLACKPINK and you can see it here:  https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2026/03/k-pop-comebacks-blackpink.html Today I'm focusing on BTS (one of the most popular Korean boybands ). They debuted in 2013 and are a 7-member group, made up of leader RM, formerly known as Rap Monster (real name Kim Nam Joon), SUGA (Min Yoon Gi), Jin (full name Kim Seok Jin), j-hope (Jung Ho-seok), Jimin (Park Ji Min), V (Kim Tae Hyung) and Jungkook (Jeon Jung Kook). * Since then, the boys have been very successful, not only in South Korea but internationally. They are probably one of the most well-known K-pop bands worldwide.  In June 2022, the group took a break while the members served their  mandatory military service in Korea and have also been concentrat...
