Eurovision Countdown- Past Contestant Hadise

Since the 66th Eurovision Song Contest is coming up in less than a month, I thought it would be fun to do a few posts counting down. I normally write a couple of Eurovision posts every year in May and I still plan to do those. However, I'm planning some shorter ones in the lead-up. :)

So today I'm featuring Turkish Belgian singer Hadise (full name Hadise Açıkgöz), who entered for Tukey in 2009 with the song Dum Dum Tek  (one of my faves that year). She came 4th. You can watch her performance here:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TzKgojZqO5Y

I first wrote an update on Hadise in 2019 and then another one last year (as part of my countdown posts featuring past contestants). You can see them at the links below:

Hadise's latest EP is  Aşka Kapandım which was released in February 2021 and her two most recent singles are Hay Hay and Coş Dalgalan. According to Google Translate, Aşka Kapandım means "I'm Closed in Love" in English.

Watch the music video for Hay Hay here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=26xNHZzGJZI


Coş Dalgalan

Here is Hadise's most recent single. She collaborated wih PUBG Mobile on the song  Coş Dalgalan, which came out last September.

I can't find a proper English translation of the title; Google just says the 2nd word is "fluctuate". Not sure how accurate it is, so if you speak Turkish, please let me know the English translation! :) 



Turkey has not entered Eurovision for 10 years now, having last participated in 2012 with Can Bonomo's Love Me Back. It's a shame because I usually enjoyed their entries. You can find more of my favourites in the Countdown to Eurovison 2019! post (under the Hadise section).

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
