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.

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
