Weekly Music Video

This week's video is One Call by SPINALL, Omah Lay and Tyla. SPINALL 's real name is Oluseye Desmond Sodamola and he is a Nigerian DJ and record producer, formerly known as DJ Spinall. He started his career by working for a local radio station and studying music at the Tenstrings Music Institute, and went on to found record label/management company TheCAPMusic in 2014. He is also signed to Atlantic Records UK and Warner Chappell Music UK.

In October 2015 he released his debut studio album My Story: The Album and to date he has brought out 5 more albums- Ten (2016), Dreams (2017), Iyanu (2018), Grace (2020) and TOP BOY (2023). His most successful singles include Gba Gbe E featuring Burna Boy, Oluwa, Nowo featuring Wizkid, Baba featuring Kizz Daniel, Diss Love with Wizkid and Tiwa Savage, and Palazzo featuring Asake.

SPINALL was the first Nigerian DJ to perform at several music festivals abroad. His most recent album TOP BOY was released in February. Prior to One Call, his most recent single was Psalm 23 with Nigerian singer/songwriter and entertainer Teni.

For One Call, SPINALL teamed up with Nigerian singer and producer Omah Lay and South African singer Tyla. (See below for more on Omah and Tyla.) It's an Afrobeats/Afropop and R'n'B song with English lyrics. I like the laidback vibe of it and it's nice to see a Nigerian/South African collab. :) It was released on 19th July and the music video came out on 25th July.

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), ...

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) 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 Pushpha 2...
