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).

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 ...

Weekly Music Video

Sorry there wasn't a 2nd post last week, I was going through a bit of a stressful time and didn't manage to get one finished. :) This week's video is I CONDEMN by Australian singer and rapper The Kid LAROI . It was the first single from the deluxe version of his second album BEFORE I FORGET. The original album was released in January and the deluxe version came out on 24th April. It contains 9 extra tracks, including  I CONDEMN and latest single PIECES. I wasn't aware that there was a deluxe version until I saw that some new songs had appeared on Spotify! I like BEFORE I FORGET and my favourite songs from the original version are ME + YOU, JULY,  COME DOWN and RATHER BE featuring Australian rapper and singer Lithe . One of my fave songs on the deluxe version is QUIT YOU, and I also like HOLD STILL and I CONDEMN. The newest single PIECES came out on out the same day as the album. I CONDEMN was released on 17th April. As with the songs on the original BEFORE I FORGET, it...

K-pop Comebacks- BTS

Sorry the 2nd post is later again this week, I didn't manage to get it finished yesterday. :) Last month I started a mini series called K-pop Comebacks, featuring the comebacks of K-pop groups during 2026. The first one was about BLACKPINK and you can see it here:  https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2026/03/k-pop-comebacks-blackpink.html Today I'm focusing on BTS (one of the most popular Korean boybands ). They debuted in 2013 and are a 7-member group, made up of leader RM, formerly known as Rap Monster (real name Kim Nam Joon), SUGA (Min Yoon Gi), Jin (full name Kim Seok Jin), j-hope (Jung Ho-seok), Jimin (Park Ji Min), V (Kim Tae Hyung) and Jungkook (Jeon Jung Kook). * Since then, the boys have been very successful, not only in South Korea but internationally. They are probably one of the most well-known K-pop bands worldwide.  In June 2022, the group took a break while the members served their  mandatory military service in Korea and have also been concentrat...
