New Music Releases

It's been a while since I did a post about new music (the last one was in March) and also summer is starting, so here are some new songs for the new season! (Or new songs for winter you're in the Southern Hemisphere!)


Dua LipaDance The Night 

British/Albanian singer Dua Lipa released Dance The Night (the lead single from the upcoming Barbie The Movie) in late May.

Watch the music video here: https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2023/05/weekly-music-video_31.html


Tyla and Ayra StarrGirl Next Door 

Two African stars recently teamed up for a new single. The song Girl Next Door features vocals from Tyla (South African) and Ayra Starr  (Nigerian). It came out on 11th May.  

This is the official music video and it also has the lyrics on the screen.



Gen Neo- Called it Love 

Singaporean singer Gen Neo released Called it Love at the end of last month. It's his 5th English single in all and follows Blame it On Me, RELAPSE (my favourite), In The Morning (all released last year) and Like California with Korean singer DeVita, which came out in January.

Called it Love is R'n'B ballad with pop influences, about addiction and the struggles of a relationship. This is the official lyric video and it was uploaded on 30th May.

Please note that the song is explicit. :)



Visit this post to see the video for Blame it On Me (plus links to more music by Gen Neo): https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2023/02/weekly-music-video_23.html


P.S. It's his birthday tomorrow (or today since Singapore is ahead of the UK), so Happy Birthday Gen! :)


Coco Jones- Crazy For You (live performance)

Finally, here is a new video by American singer Coco Jones. She just released a live performance video for her song Crazy For You. It's from her latest EP What I Didn't Tell You, which came out last year, with a deluxe version released in January. 

Crazy For You is a smooth R'n'B song with a good beat. The video was uploaded on Thursday (15th June).

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...
