Weekly Music Video

This week's video is GIRLS by Australian rapper and singer The Kid LAROI. It's his latest single and was released on 28th June. LAROI released his debut album THE FIRST TIME last November, which includes the singles Bleed, Too Much and Love Again. This song will likely be on his next album though, which is called SUMMER ALBUM and is expected to be released later this month.

GIRLS was previewed on TikTok in May, with a snippet that went viral. It's an upbeat, poppy song about the fun and freedom of relationships and is rumoured to be about LAROI's girlfriend Canadian singer Tate McCrae.

The music video features several social media influencers, including American TikTok star Alix Earle and has a fun, party vibe, good for summer. As people mention in the comments on YouTube, it's reminiscent of music and videos from around the early 00s.

 

 

Update 17/8/24: GIRLS is on LAROI's new album THE FIRST TIME (DELUXE VERSION) the deluxe release of his debut album of the same name. It just came out on 9th August. Listen to/buy it here: https://thekidlaroi.lnk.to/thefirsttimedeluxe

P.S. Talking of music videos- several music channels shut down on 1st July, including The Box and Kiss. I was a teenager in the late 90s and early 00s and loved music channels growing up. Back then not everyone had the internet and it was very different, so it was often the best way to watch music videos. I remember the days when you could call in to request a song on The Box! One of my faves was LL Cool J's Doin' It, lol.

These days although I watch a lot of videos on YouTube and listen to music on Spotify, I still enjoy watching music channels. I feel a bit sad about their closure, seems like the end of an era, lol. However, I know that times move on and since a lot of music is digital now and people are more likely to watch videos online, they were probably losing money. 

Anyway, MTV seems to be here to stay for now! Anyone else a music channel fan? :)

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), ...
