Weekly Music Video

This week's music video is Edge Of Us by Natasha Hamilton, a former member of British girl group Atomic Kitten. She was one of the original members of the group, having replaced Heidi Range, who went on to become a member of Sugababes).

The group debuted with Natasha, Liz McClarnon and Kerry Katona in 1999 but after Kerry left, she was replaced by Jenny Frost (a former member of girl group Precious). 

I've just read today that Natasha recently announced that she's leaving Atomic Kitten after 26 years. I was a fan of the group, so it feels a bit sad to hear that, although they haven't released much music in recent years. But it's cool that Natasha is going solo.

While they haven't released a studio album since 2003's Ladies Night (or a compilation since Whole Again- The Best of Atomic Kitten in 2015), the group did bring out a single more recently- Southgate You're the One (Football's Coming Home Again. It was a reworked version for their hit 2001 single Whole Again,  and was released in July 2021, in relation to the UEFA Euro 2020 European football championship.

Since 2013, Atomic Kitten have mainly been doing live performances (as the duo of Natasha and Liz). Natasha has now decided to concentrate on a career as a solo artist. She has set up her own record label Morpho Music Group and plans to release her 1st solo EP soon. For more on Natasha's decision to leave Atomic Kitten, read her Instagram post about it: https://www.instagram.com/p/DA-sqP_NFse/

She launched her solo career back in June with her debut solo single Edge Of Us. And she went on to release her 2nd single You Don't Know Me in September.

Edge Of Us is a dance/pop track about realising that a relationship has come to an end and having the courage to move on. Natasha describes it as "a powerful anthem of resilience".

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...
