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 McRae.

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? :)

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 ...

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...

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), ...
