Weekly Music Video

Today's video is GADJE by German born, Kosovar-Albanian singer Dhurata Dora and Albanian singer Elvana Gjata. They teamed up for the single back in 2022. The two singers also worked together again for the song LUJ, last year. 

Dhurata released her debut studio album DHURATA in March 2023. Her most recent singles are PALMA featuring Austrian rapper and singer RAF Camora, which came out last July and LEJ with Kosovo-Albanian rapper Don Xhoni, released in December.

Elvana's most recent releases are the 2021 EP Çelu and the single Pak, released in July 2023. She also just brought out the song HANA from the new Albanian film 2 Gisht Mjaltë 2 (sequel l to 2019's 2 Gisht Mjaltë). 

GADJE is an Albanian language pop song (with the English line) with dance vibes. It was released in June 2022 but I only came across it recently.

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 ...

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...
