Current Favourite Songs

Occasionally I write a post about my current favourite songs. I've done it about once a year since 2019 but I actually didn't write one last year (although I did share my favourite songs from 2023 overall in January). So I'm picking it up again in 2024! You can see my previous posts at the links below:

I still have most of the songs featured in my first post on my iPod! And these are my current favourites. :) 


Gen Neo- Same Mistakes

Singaporean singer Gen Neo released the single Same Mistakes last December but I first heard it in January. I wrote in my New Music for 2024 post that it was one of my current favourite songs and I still really like it now. 

It's a mellow R'n'B English language song about making mistakes when it comes to love. I like the overall relaxed feel of it. There's a guitar version which is good as well.

 This is the audio. Please note that the song contains swearing. :) 

 

 

Listen to the guitar version here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tNWS46PzFYM

See below for more music by Gen. :)


Adanna Duru feat. Mannywellz- Put It Down

I first heard Adanna Duru's'ssong Put It Down featuring Mannywellz in February, although it came out in December.  It's still one of my faves. I like the Afrobeats/R'n'B style.

Put It Down was a Weekly Music Video in Feb: https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2024/02/weekly-music-video_21.html

 

Sinéad Harnett- Thinking Less

British singer Sinéad Harnett uploaded a video for the song Thinking Less in February. It was released as part of the single The Most in March, along with the title track and another song, Say Something. All 3 songs will be on Sinéad's upcoming 3rd solo album BOUNDARIES, which is due out on 26th April.

Thinking Less is an R'n'B song with chilled vibes (I still enjoy chilled out songs!). This is the performance video.

 

Watch the performance video for Say Something here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UtE6VX6eT6Y

And here's the album trailer for BOUNDARIES: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7MFL2hkdQ6Y

 

Ethan Low and Gen Neo- KISS&TELL 

I recently came across this song on iTunes, when I was searching for music by Gen Neo!It's a collaboration between Gen and Ethan Low.

Ethan is a singer/songwriter from Canada and he has Malaysian/Singaporean heritage. He released his debut album GEMINI last July. His singles include GEMINI, BUBBLY, SKINTIGHT with Korean singer Jimmy Brown, BOUJEE, KISS&TELL and his latest, parasite (written in lower case) with Malaysian singer yuji.

Ethan's music seems to be mainly R'n'B. I can't find much info about him online but I'll update this in the future, if I do. :)

KISS&TELL came out in February. It's a laidback song with sensual lyrics about not kissing and telling when it comes to a romantic/sexual encounter! I think that Ethan and Gen's musical styles and vocals go well together.

This is an audio. Please note that it has explicit lyrics. :) 

 


And here's  a kind of "mini music video" for KISS&TELL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lzoPs618mJA

Plus, watch the official visualiser for Ethan's latest single parasite here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rhQ82gUGnHo

And for more Gen, his latest single Scarred For Tryin. is another song that I like at the moment. It was a Weekly Music Video recently: https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2024/04/weekly-music-video_10.html

 

Hope you enjoyed the post! :) I noticed that the songs are quite similar, like mostly laidback R'n'B. That's what I'm into at the moment! What are you currently listening to?

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...
