Weekly Music Video

This week's video is Double Back by American singer Coco Jones. Her full name is Courtney Michelle Jones, and she is also an actress who started singing and performing when she was a child and began her career with Disney. 

In 2010 aged 12, Coco was runner up in Season 3 of Radio Disney's Next Big Thing show, which was looking for new musical artists. She also played the  role of Roxie in the 2012 Disney film Let It Shine and appeared in the Disney Channel TV shows So Random! and Good Luck Charlie. 

Coco released her self-titled debut album independently in October 2010 and went on to sign with Hollywood Records. Her debut single Holla Holla was released in December 2012, followed by her debut EP Made Of in March 2013. Unfortunately she was dropped by Hollywood Records in early 2014, but went on to release the single Peppermint independently in October that year. 

To date, Coco has brought out 3 more EPs- Let Me Check It (2017), H.D.W.Y (2019) and What I Didn't Tell You (2022)- and several more singles, including Let Me Check It, Just My Luck, Depressed, Hollyweird, ICU and Double Back. 

She signed to Def Jam in March 2022 and the first single to be released on that label (and the lead single from her major label debut EP What I Didn't Tell You) was Caliber.

Coco is also still acting, most recently starring as Hilary Banks in Bel-Air, the revamped version of classic 90s comedy series The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.

Double Back is from the deluxe version of What I Didn't Tell You (originally released last November). The deluxe edition came out in January and features 4 new tracks- Fallin', Simple with Babyface, Put You On and Plan.

It's a smooth R'n'B song that gives me 00s vibes! The video was uploaded on 4th May.

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 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 ...

20th Anniversary of Mariah's The Emancipation of Mimi Album- Part 1

My favourite singer Mariah Carey is celebrating the 20th Anniversary of her 10th studio album The Emancipation of Mimi. It was released back in April 2005. I'd planned to write just one post about the album but it was turning into a really long one, so I've decided to divide it into two parts! Here is Part 1. :) The Emancipation of Mimi (or TEOM for short!) was considered Mariah's "comeback album" at the time, following on from her previous two albums, Glitter (2001) which was accompanied by the film of the same name and Charmbracelet (2002). Neither the Glitter movie or album were very well received and after going through a difficult time in general, Mariah had an emotional and physical breakdown and checked into hospital that summer. She was diagnosed with bipolar II disorder , although didn't feel ready to speak about it pubicly until several years later .  Although Charmbracelet (MC's first release after leaving Virgin Records America and singing w...
