Asian Groups- Filipina Girl Group

In March I started a series about Asian groups.  In the first post I featured Filipina girl group KAIA. You can read that here: https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2023/03/asian-groups-filipina-girl-group.html

Today I'm featuring another girl band from the Philippines- 4th Impact. :)


4th Impact is a P-pop (Pinoy Pop) group made up of 4 members who are also sisters- (in order of age) Almira, Irene, Mylene and Celina Cercado. They formed the group in 2001 after being encouraged by their aunt and started out by competing in local talent shows. They also performed at festivals and appeared on TV shows in the Philippines, which included a regular slot on Sarah G Live 

The group went through several name changes, (having originally called themselves after their surname) before settling on 4th Impact. 

In 2008 the girls brought out an EP and went on to release their debut album The Cerrado Sisters: Unstoppable! in 2013. However, neither release sold that well.

4th Impact's big break came in summer 2015 when they took part in Series 12 of The X Factor UK. The year before they had competed in the South Korean talent competition Superstar K6 and done quite well before  being eliminated in the 3rd week (coming 8th). They decided to try again with The X Factor and were very successful. 

After coming 5th on the show, the group went on to tour with The X Factor UK and then by themselves in the UK and internationally. They also returned to the Philippines to perform in 2016. 

In January 2017 4th Impact released their official debut single Unleash the Diva, which was a hit. A year later they sang the official theme song for the Filipino comedy film Ang Dalawang Mrs. Reyes. 

To date they have brought out 7 more singles, including D'Nah Nah (Shaky Bum Bum) with Tony Valor, K(No)w More, Dance With Me, Here We Go and Tapat Sa'yo'. They released their 2nd single album Here We Go in March last year.  They haven't released any original music lately but have just uploaded a cover version of Miley Cyrus' Flowers on YouTube. 


Here We Go 

This is Here We Go. It's the title track from their 2nd single album and both were released in March 2022. 

The upbeat pop song is a mixture of Filipino and English language. The music in the background reminds me a bit of Korean girl group Red Velvet's RBB (Really Bad Boy)! A bit slower though, I think. 

This is the official music video. Click "Subtitles/closed captions" for English subtitles! :) 



Tapat Sa'yo'

And here is their latest single, Tapat Sa'yo'. It's a ballad with a gentle vibe. 

This is a visualiser. English subtitles are also available.

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), ...

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 .
