Mabel Live Performances

British/Swedish singer Mabel  (full name Mabel McVey) released her second studio album About Last Night... in July (the follow up to her debut High Expectations). The album was created during the pandemic and sees Mabel trying out new sounds (including dance, synth-pop and disco) in addition to the R'n'B she started out with. It's a concept album based around a party.

The lead single from About Last Night... is Let Them Know and two others were subsequently released- Good Luck with British DJ Jax Jones and Swedish music duo Galantis, and Overthinking with American rapper and singer 24kGoldn.

Here are a couple of live performances from the album.

 

Let Love Go (Live)

First up is a live performance of Let Love Go, a promotional single. It was released in late June. The album and single versions feature American rapper and singer Lil Tecca, but this live Vevo performance is a solo one by Mabel. The video was uploaded on 29th June.

Overthinking (Live)

And here is a live version of Overthinking, the 3rd single from the album which was released in May. This is a solo version and the video was uploaded on 15th July, the same day that About Last Night... came out.

What do you think of ABLN? I haven't listened to the full album yet but from what I've heard, I prefer Mabel's older R'n'B style music (like on the Bedroom EP and Ivy to Roses mixtape) and songs from High Expectations. I do like the songs I've heard so far though; my favourite is Overthinking. And it's cool to see artists try new styles. :) I will share any more fave songs once I've listened to the whole thing.

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), ...

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 ...

20th Anniversary of Mariah's The Emancipation of Mimi Album- Part 1

My favourite singer Mariah Carey is celebrating the 20th Anniversary of her 10th studio album The Emancipation of Mimi. It was released back in April 2005. I'd planned to write just one post about the album but it was turning into a really long one, so I've decided to divide it into two parts! Here is Part 1. :) The Emancipation of Mimi (or TEOM for short!) was considered Mariah's "comeback album" at the time, following on from her previous two albums, Glitter (2001) which was accompanied by the film of the same name and Charmbracelet (2002). Neither the Glitter movie or album were very well received and after going through a difficult time in general, Mariah had an emotional and physical breakdown and checked into hospital that summer. She was diagnosed with bipolar II disorder , although didn't feel ready to speak about it pubicly until several years later .  Although Charmbracelet (MC's first release after leaving Virgin Records America and singing w...
