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 ...

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...
