Weekly Music Video

Today's video is Feeling Lucky by Korean singer and rapper BIBI and Hong Kong rapper and singer Jackson Wang (who is also a member of Korean boy band GOT7).

BIBI's real name is Kim Hyung-seo and she took her first steps into music by uploading songs to SoundCloud (under the name Nakedbibi). It was through that platform that she was discovered by American born, South Korean based rapper and singer Yoon Mi-rae in 2017 and signed to the Korean record label Feel Ghood Music (founded by Mi-rae's husband Tiger JK).*

The following year BIBI took part in the Korean TV competition show The Fan, finishing in 2nd place. In 2019 she released her debut digital single BINU in May and her debut EP The Manual for People Who Want to Love in June.

In April 2021, BIBI brought out her 2nd EP Life is a Bi.... And in October that year, her single The Weekend (a collaboration with the American record label 88rising) became a hit, leading to a remix with Thai rapper and singer MILLI. In December 2021 she signed a global promotion deal with 88rising.

BIBI released her debut album Lowlife Princess: Noir in November 2022. Her singles include Kazino, Bad Sad and Mad, Life is a Bi..., The Weekend, Bam Yang Kang (one of her biggest hits in Korea to date), Sugar Rush and Feeling Lucky.

Her music is a mix of genres, including R'n'B, soul and hip hop. In addition to singing, she is an actress, having starred in the 2023 Korean thriller Hopeless and TV series The Worst of Evil.

Interesting info: BIBI's younger sister Kim Na-kyoung is a member of K-pop girl group tripleS and its sub-unit Acid Angel from Asia.*

Feeling Lucky is a collaboration with Jackson Wang. The two artists debuted the duet at the American music festival Coachella in April, as part of 88rising's "Futures" Set. It's a sensual English language song with an accompanying sexy video! The single also came out in April.

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), ...

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 ...

20th Anniversary of Mariah's The Emancipation of Mimi Album- Part 1

My favourite singer Mariah Carey is celebrating the 20th Anniversary of her 10th studio album The Emancipation of Mimi. It was released back in April 2005. I'd planned to write just one post about the album but it was turning into a really long one, so I've decided to divide it into two parts! Here is Part 1. :) The Emancipation of Mimi (or TEOM for short!) was considered Mariah's "comeback album" at the time, following on from her previous two albums, Glitter (2001) which was accompanied by the film of the same name and Charmbracelet (2002). Neither the Glitter movie or album were very well received and after going through a difficult time in general, Mariah had an emotional and physical breakdown and checked into hospital that summer. She was diagnosed with bipolar II disorder , although didn't feel ready to speak about it pubicly until several years later .  Although Charmbracelet (MC's first release after leaving Virgin Records America and singing w...
