V-pop Round-up

If you follow Star Sparkle Blog, you'll know that I'm a fan of Asian music. The types I feature most often are J-pop (Japanese music), K-pop (Korean) and C-pop (Chinese). I do also write about other genres, such as Vietnamese, Thai and Indonesian, so I thought it would be cool to focus on one of those for a change. (I'm also a fan of Bollywood but I tend to write separate posts about East/Southeast Asian music.)

Today I'm sharing a round-up of previous Vietnamese (known as V-pop) posts on the blog, plus some new music. :)

In my 2017 Asian Music- K-pop, J-pop and Beyond, I featured the video for What Is Love? by Hồ Ngọc Ha: https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2017/02/asian-music-k-pop-j-pop-and-beyond.html

And in the follow-up Asian Music- Part 2 in 2019, I shared another song of Hồ Ngọc Ha's, Bức Thư Để Lại featuring rapper R Tee: https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2019/11/asian-music-part-2.html

Plus, in 2021 I shared a V-pop in Public dance post for the first time (similar to K-pop in Public, where people do public dance covers). It features a dance cover of Sáng mắt chưa? by Trúc Nhân: https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2021/06/v-pop-in-public.html

 

Hoàng Thùy Linh- See Tình

And here is a song I haven't previously shared, See Tình, by Hoàng Thùy Linh (or Thùy Linh Hoàng in Western terms). She started out mainly as an actress and TV star, but was also a member of the girl group Thien Than.

Thùy's Linh's acting career was unfortunately affected by scandal, after a video of her and her boyfriend having sex was released online in 2007. She was 19 at the time but playing a schoolgirl in the TV series Vang Ang's Diaries. The show ended up being cancelled.

However, Thùy Linh returned to the entertainment scene, this time as a solo singer. She released her self-titled debut album in April 2010. Since then, she has brought out 3 more albums- Đừng vội vàng (2011), Hoàng (2019) and her latest, LINK, which came out last summer.

In addition, Hoàng has released 3 EPS- Hoàng Thùy Linh Mini Album 2012, Hoàng Thùy Linh 2013 and S.I.X with producer Triple D (2013)- and a compilation, The Ballad Hits (2017). Her singles include Nhịp Đập Giấc Mơ ("Beat of Dreams" in English), "Đừng Vội Vàng (Don't Rush), Để Mị nói cho mà nghe (Let Me Tell You Something), See Tình, Bo Xì Bo (Pause Pause) and her latest, Hạ Phỏm (All Cards on Desk).

See Tình is from Thùy Linh's latest album LINK, which was released in August 2022. The song title translates as "See Love" in English and is about love at first sight. There was a dance challenge to See Tình shared on TikTok.

The video premiered on 20th February 2022 (almost exactly a year ago!). Click "Subtitles/closed captions" on YouTube for English subtitles! :)

Also, here is the video for Thùy Linh's latest single, Hạ Phỏm, which was released on 23rd January: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KqcN6C8tpnA

Hope you enjoyed the post! :) I might do a Thai or Indonesian round-up in future. Who are your favourite V-pop singers/groups? And what other types of Asian music do you like?

 

P.S. I've also featured music by Vietnamese American singer thuy on the blog. Watch the video for her 2022 single girls like me don't cry (English language) here: https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2022/10/weekly-music-video_12.html

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...
