Today's video is Ma bebe by STEFANIA X FAYDEE. Stefania is a Romanian singer and Faydee is Australian.

Stefania's full name is Cristina Stefania. She was born in Galati, Romania and studied at the Dimitrie Cuclin High School of Arts, before moving to Bucharest in 2015, to pursue her passion for dancing. She kicked off her music career by releasing a cover of the song Nentori by Albanian singer Arilena Ara. (For more on Stefania's journey, check out her YouTube bio.)

Random fact: Arilena was set to be Albania's entry in the 2020 Eurovision Song Contest, before it was cancelled due to the pandemic.

Arilena discovered Stefania's cover and decided to promote her. Stefania then made her Romanian musical debut with the single Drinking About You in September 2017. She released her first album ALPHA in September 2022.

Stefania's other singles/songs include Prea Tarziu, Bad Boy, Anni mei, Te sun eu and How I Love It with Romanian musician Cezar Guna. Her most recent single is Kef Halak, a collab with Kosovar-Albanian singer Dhurata Dora.

Faydee's real name is Fady Fatrouni and he was born in Sydney, Australia to Lebanese parents. He was interested in music from a young age and was discovered online aged 19, by Ronnie Diamond, who runs record label Buckle Up Entertainment. 

After partnering with producer Divy Pota in 2008, they released several singles, including I Should've Known, Say My Name and Forget the World. Faydee's career first took off with the single Laugh Till You Cry featuring Lazy J, which was released in September 2012. It went on to become an international hit.

However, the song Habibi (I Need Your Love) with Jamaican-American rapper Shaggy, Congolese-Swedish singer Mohombi and Romanian singer Costi, is considered Faydee's breakthrough single. It was originally released in September 2014 (sung in a mixture of Arabic and English) and charted in the US and UK. Several other versions were later released in different languages, including the English I Need Your Love (with Shaggy listed as the main artist).

In August 2009 Faydee released his debut studio album Never Saw Me Coming. He has also brought out 4 EPs- Unbreakable (EP) (2013), Legendary (2016), Patterns (2017) and Cruel (2022)- and two remix EPs.

His other hit singles include Can't Let Go, Maria, Sun Don't Shine, Love in Dubai with Romanian DJ and producer DJ Sava, Nobody with American singer Kat DeLuna and Lefside, and Believe with German rapper Kay One. His latest release is the single Arabian Wifey. 

Ma bebe is a multilingual pop song and it came out in April. The lyrics are a mix of English, Arabic, Italian and Romanian, which is cool! The title and other words in the first line translate as "My baby/my love/my dear" etc. There's also a remix.

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.
