Weekly Music Video

This week's video is Surrender by American singer Jhené Aiko and featuring Dr. Chill. It's from her 3rd album Chilombo, which was released back in March 2020 (with a deluxe version following that July). It was her last studio album, although she has released singles and Sleep Soul  (a series of R'n'B sleep music for babies) more recently. 

Previous singles from the album include Triggered (Freestyle), P*$$Y FAIRY (OTW) and Happiness Over Everything (H.O.E) featuring rapper Future and singer Miguel.

Surrender is one of my favourite songs from Chilombo (along with P*ssy Fairy) and has remained on my iPod! I featured it in my More Chillout Songs post in 2021. It's a chilled R'n'B song with "otherworldly" vibes. Dr. Chill is actually Jhené's dad Karamo Chilombo! His spoken word part makes you think about the universe and life. :)

The video was uploaded on 7th March. I think it's cool to see one after almost 4 years, to have a visual to go with it. The style of the video suits the song. 

 


It's around 10 years since I first discovered Jhené's music! Seems weird that it's been so long. She also recently uploaded two more videos for songs from Chilombo, which you can see below:

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), ...
