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.

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

Debut XG Mini Album

Japanese girl group XG have released their 1st mini album. It's called NEW DNA and was released on 27th September. XG (whose name is short for Xtraordinary Girls) made their debut in March last year and have brought out 7 singles so far- Tippy Toes, MASCARA, LEFT RIGHT/SHOOTING STAR double single), GVRL GANG , TGIF, NEW DANCE and PUPPET SHOW. The first 3 songs (or 4 including the double single) aren't on the mini album. The concept behind NEW DNA is that of being a "new species" free from conventions and limitations . Although the group is Japanese, their creation was inspired by Korean music and they are based in South Korea. They have released songs in English so far and have been described as a global group and "X-pop". NEW DNA consists of 6 tracks- HESONO, X-GENE, GVRL GANG, TGIF, NEW DANCE and PUPPET SHOW. It is an R'n'B/pop mini album with influences from other genres, such as K-pop, dance and hip hop. My favourite song is PUPPET SHOW. I al
