Weekly Music Video

Today's video is Imdat by Turkish Dutch rapper Murda and Turkish Belgian singer Hadise. Murda's real name is Önder Doğan. He has Turkish heritage and is from the Netherlands. 

Murda started out making music in Holland but his career really took off after her started making Turkish songs. He has released many singles and EPs and brought out his first studio album, the Dutch language We Doen Ons Best ("We Do Our Best" in English) in May 2016. 

In October the following year he collaborated with BangBros (a Dutch group, not to be confused with the American p**n site!) and Dutch rapper Hef on the album Bruin Brood.

In 2019 and 2020 Murda released the Turkish language albums BABA and DOĞA. In August 2020 he released a joint album with Turkish rapper Ezhel  called Made in Turkey. 

For Imdat he teamed up with Hadise Açıkgöz (my favourite Turkish singer!), who is from Belgium and has Turkish parents. She represented Turkey in the 2009 Eurovision Song Contest with Dum Tek Tek. It's a Turkish language and the title translates as "Help" in English. The video premiered on 30th June.


 

Check out the video for RARRii, Murda's latest single (released in July) here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VpwOAEJKB5s

 

Note: Earlier this year, Murda was sentenced to 4 years and 2 months in prison in Turkey, due to lyrics in his older songs that promote drug use. He said he would appeal and his social media is still being updated, so if these recent posts are made by him (and the pictures are new), I presume he's not currently serving his sentence. I can't find an update on the case.

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...
