C-pop Saturday

Time for the 2nd post of the year in my semi-regular C-pop Saturday series, which features Chinese pop (and sometimes R'n'B and rap). You can see the first post of 2022 here: https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2022/01/c-pop-saturday.html

 

Julia Wu- sunset

First up is sunset (title written in lower case) by Australian born Chinese singer Julia Wu. It's an English and Chinese language song about wanting to be with a past lover and share the sunset with them. The song is from Julia's latest album 2622, which came out last year. 

The first verse of sunset is Chinese (Mandarin, I think) and the rest is English.  I like how it starts out slow and chilled, and then the R'n'B beats kicks in. I'm not sure if the rap is by the American rapper 2chill, since 2Chill is also the video director.

This is a visualiser video and was uploaded in November.

Split music video (it's often listed by the Chinese title, so if you can't read Chinese- like me-and have trouble finding it, it's track No. 9 on the album): https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2021/09/c-pop-saturday.html

NICKTHEREAL- GOOD LIFE

Next up is GOOD LIFE by Taiwanese singer NICKTHEREAL (real name Nick Chou). It's from his new album REAL LIFE, which came out in January. There are good songs on there including this one,  HEALTHY MIND (my favourite), and LOVE IS PAIN. 

GOOD LIFE is a Chinese and English song. The video premiered on 14th March.

Priscilla Abby- Chinese title/Don't Make Me Like You Too Much

And here is a new song from Priscilla Abby (full name Priscilla Abby Chai). She is a Chinese Malaysian singer who started out uploading covers to YouTube in summer 2016, before being signed to WebTVAsia in 2017. She released her debut single I Love The Sky in July 2017.  

Priscilla speaks both Chinese (Mandarin) and Malay. Her music is described as "Mandopop EDM" (Mandarin language pop/electronic dance music).  

The English title of this single is Don't Make Me Like You Too Much. This video was uploaded on 14th March.

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),
