New Music Releases

Back in January I wrote a couple of posts sharing new music for the new year. You can see them below:

Now we're already getting to the end of the first quarter of 2023! So today I'm sharing some more new music. :)


The Weeknd & Ariana Grande- Die For You (Remix)

Canadian singer The Weeknd (real name Abel Tesfaye) has released a new remix of his song Die For You, which features American singer Ariana Grande. He and Ariana have worked together several times before, on the songs Love Me Harder (from Ariana's 2014 album My Everything), off the table (from Ariana's 2020 album Positions) and Save Your Tears (from The Weeknd's  album After Hours, which was released in 2021).

Die For You was originally released back in September 2017 and is from The Weeknd's 3rd studio album Starboy (released in 2016). There has also been an unofficial remix with American singer SZA. The Die For You Remix was released on 24th February, with a lyric video uploaded on The Weeknd's channel. A day later Ariana uploaded the official audio on her channel.

It would be cool if Ariana brought out some more new music this year. At the moment she's busy with the two-part film adaptation of the stage show Wicked though. :)

This is the audio on Ariana's channel, where I first came across the song:



And here is the official lyric video from The Weeknd:

Adanna Duru- Write On Me 

Next up is Write on Me by Adanna Duru. She is a Nigerian American singer from Orange County in California who rose to fame after appearing on American reality singing shows The Voice and American Idol. She also has over a million followers on TikTok.

Adanna's songs include ur a b*tch (written in lowercase), POP!, Write on Me and Stay featuring Leven Kali. She describes herself as an R'n'B Afrobeat pop artist and just released her debut EP NAPPY HOUR. According to her YouTube bio, this is Part 1, so Part 2 will follow in future.

Write on Me is from NAPPY HOUR and the video was uploaded yesterday (10th March), the same day that the EP was released. As people have mentioned in comments on YouTube, the song has a nice calming/relaxing vibe.

TWICE- SET ME FREE

Finally, K-pop girl group TWICE have just released a brand new single. It's called SET ME FREE and is from their 12th mini album READY TO BE, which came out yesterday (10th March). READY TO BE is the group's 12th Korean language EP.

SET ME FREE was also released yesterday. It is the lead single from the mini album, although it comes after the release of Moonlight Sunrise (TWICE's 2nd English single) in January, which is on READY TO BE as well.

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...
