Weekly Music Video

Today's video is Piritu by Peruvian American singer A.CHAL. It was released back in February.

Piriru is from A.CHAL's 3rd album ESPÍRITU (Spanish for "Spirit") which was also released in February. It was his first album since leaving his record label Epic Records and taking a two-year hiatus from music, to work out which direction he wanted to go in next. 

Other singles from the album include Saico, Walk On Everything and Quicksand.

ESPÍRITU was inspired by A.CHAL connecting to his Peruvian roots (he was born in Trujillo in Peru before moving to the US as a child). His musical inspirations also include psychedelic 70s rock, hip hop and 60s boleros.

Piritiu is basically the title track, where A.CHAL sings about having "the spirit", in a mixture of English and Spanish. The video has the lyrics on screen. I like the dreamy, relaxed vibe of the song. Please note that it contains explicit lyrics. :)

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),
