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 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), ...

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) 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 Pushpha 2...
