New Music for 2022- Various

A couple of weeks ago I wrote a post sharing some new music releases for 2022. That one focused on Bollywood and you can see it here: https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2022/01/new-music-for-2022-bollywood.html

Today I'm featuring some more new songs from a mixture of genres- K-pop, Latin and Western! :)


MOMOLAND X NATTI NATASHA- Yummy Yummy Love

First up is Yummy Yummy Love, a collaboration between Korean girl group Momoland and Dominican singer Natti Natasha! I first heard this when Momoland performed it live on Simply K-pop CON TOUR the other week (without Natti though). 

Yummy Yummy Love is an English language song and was released on 14th January.

B Young- You Feel Me

Next up is You Feel Me by British rapper/singer B Young. It's about his journey of where he came from growing up, to where he is now. 

You Feel Me is from B Young's debut album Differences (released last year) and the video premiered on 20th January.

 


 

I also recently featured Living Easy? (another song from Differences) as a Weekly Music Video: https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2022/01/weekly-music-video_12.html

 

Christina Aguilera and Ozuna- Santo

Christina Aguilera (one of my favourite singers) just a released a new Spanish EP, La Fuerza ("The Strength" in English). She is part Ecuadorian and brought out the Spanish album Mi Reflejo (My Reflection) in 2000. 

La Fuerza was released on 21st January and will make up part of Christina's upcoming 9th studio album (and 2nd Spanish language album). The first single Pa Mis Muchacha (For My Girls) which features American singer Becky G , Argentinian rapper and singer Nicki Nicole and Argentian singer Nathy Peluso, was released in October, followed by Somas Nada (We Are Nothing) in November.

Santo ("Holy" in English; I originally read the title as Santos and translated it as Saints", lol) is the 3rd single from the EP. It's a duet with Puerto Rican singer Ozuna and came out on 20th January.

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...
