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

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
