New Music for 2023- Bollywood/Asian

It's a new year, so here is some music to start off 2023! :) For the past few years I've done several posts featuring new music for the new year, in varying genres. You can read 2022's at the links below:

Today I'm sharing some new Bollywood, K-pop and C-pop! :)

Note: Although Bollywood is South Asian since it's Indian, I tend to feature it separately to East Asian music. That's why I've written "Bollwood/Asian in the post title.

 

Jhoome Jo Pathaan Song from Pathaan

First up is Jhoome Jo Pathaan Song from the new Bollywood film Pathaan. The video premiered on 22nd December but we're only halfway into January and the movie is due out later this month, so I'm including it! :) 

Pathaan sees superstar Shah Rukh Khan (also sometimes written as Shahrukh) play the title character, a spy/field agent who is called out of exile for a new mission. He teams up with a soldier (Deepika Padukone) to stop the private terror group Outfit X led by Jim (John Abraham), from destroying India. The film is set for release on 25th January, in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu (the languages of Bollywood, Kollywood and Tollywood respectively).

The Jhoome Jo Pathaan video features Shah Rukh and Deepika's characters. The playback singers are Arijit Singh, Sukriti Kakar, Vishal and Sheykar (who make up the music duo Vishal-Shekar). Click "Subtitles/closed captions" on YouTube for English subtitles. :)

MONSTA X- Beautiful Liar

Next up is Beautiful Liar, the new single by Korean boy band MONSTA X. It's the lead single from their 12th EP Reason, which was released on 9th January.

Good Life is a Chinese and English language song. The video was uploaded on 8th January.

 


I recently featured Diamonds Only, another song from Phantom as a Weekly Music Video: https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2022/12/weekly-music-video_28.html

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...
