Weekly Music Video

This week's video is Kya Say? by Indian singers Sukriti and Prakriti, and Indian rapper, singer and film producer Badshah. 

Sukriti and Prakriti Kakar are twins. Both are playback singers for Bollywood films and their careers got started with Goti Song from Nasha and the title song of Boss in 2013. Prakriti also sang the title song of Tutiya Dil in 2012. Their older sister Akriti is a playback singer too.

In addition, Sukriti is known for the hit songs Pheli Baar from the 2015 film Dil Dhadakne Do and Kar Gayi Chull from Kapoor & Sons, which also featured Badshah (see below), Fazilpuriaand Neha Kakkar (no relation). Most recently she provided the female vocals for Jhoome Jo Pathaan, from the new movie Pathaan.

Prakriti's hits include Katra Katra from Alone (2015), the female version of Bheegh Loon from Khamoshiyan and Dil Ki Darji from Stree (2018). She recently was the playback singer for Ae Pagli from the 2022 film Maja Ma. Both sisters have also released non-film songs, including Mafiyan, the Indian remix of British singer Dua Lipa's single Levitating, Naari and Dobara.

Rapper, singer and film producer Badshah (real name Aditya Prateek Singh Sisodia) is well known for his Bollywood/Hindi language music, and also releases Haryanvi and Punjabi songs. He got his start in the music business in 2006 as part of the hip hop group Mafia Mundeer (along with Yo Yo Honey Singh) and went on to launch a solo career. He released his debut Haryanvi song Kar Gay Chull in 2012 and it was later featured in the 2016 Bollywood film Kapoor & Sons (Sukriti also sang vocals; see above).

Badshah got his big break with the release of the Punjabi-Hindi hip hop single DJ Waley Baby with Aashta Gill, which came out in July 2015. In 2018 he released his debut album O.N.E- Original Never Ends. His latest album 3.00 AM Sessions came out on 7th February.

His other singles and film songs include the remix of Saturday Saturday from the 2014 Bollywood film Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania (which also featured the twins' sister Akriti), Wakjra Swag with Navv Inder (Punjabi), She Move It Like featuring Warina Hussain, Tarefaan from the 2018 film Veere Di Wedding, Genda Phool featuring Payal Dev, Paani Paani with Aastha Gill and Players featuring Karun Aujla and Devika Badyal.

Kya Say? was released last December. It's a Hindi language song (with a couple of English lines!). I think that Kya Say translates as "From what?" or "What you say?" in English. Maybe "Say what?" I couldn't find a consistent translation but "kya" is "what" in English. If you're a Hindi speaker, please let me know the correct translation! :)

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...
