New Music for 2025

Sorry this week's post is later; I didn't manage to get it finished yesterday. :)

 

It's a new year, so time for some new music! Since 2017 I've been writing posts sharing new music releases for the new year. You can see 2024's at the links below:

So here are some new releases from a variety of genres. :)


KARD- Detox

First up, some K-pop! This is Detox, the latest single by Korean mixed gender/co-ed group KARD. It was actually released in December but I thought I'd include it. :)

The group released their 7th mini album Where To Now? Part 1: Yellow Light last summer, along with the singles Tell My Momma and SPIN.  Detox is a stand-alone/non-album single but it may be intended for Part 2 of Where To Now? in the future.

Detox is a pop/dance song about "detoxing" from all the outside negativity and finding the meaning of love for yourself. It's mostly English language with a Korean and English rap from J.seph.

This is the visualiser, which premiered on 17th December.

PSYCHIC FEVER- Paradise

Now we move on to J-pop! This is Paradise by Japanese boyband PSYCHIC FEVER from EXILE TRIBE. It's their 7th digital single and will be the theme song for their first US tour, which is set to take place from 2nd to 14th February.

Paradise is a love song with R'n'B and disco vibes. The video premiered on 10th January.

Yemi Alade feat Konshens and Femi One- Baddie (Remix

Here is some Afrobeats meets Jamaican dancehall. Nigerian singer Yemi Alade has released a remix of her song Baddie. The original single was released back in October 2022 and it was from her 2022 EP African Baddie.

For the remix, Yemi has teamed up with Jamaican dancehall recording artist and DJ Konshens and Kenyan rapper Femi One. It was released on 15th January.

BANKS- Love Is Unkind

Finally, here is Love Is Unkind, the brand-new single by American singer BANKS (real name Jillian Banks). It will be on her upcoming 5th album Off With Her Head (a follow-up to 2022's Serpentina), which is due out on 28th February.

Love Is Unkind comes after the previous singles I Hate Your Ex-Girlfriend featuring American rapper and singer Doechii and Best Friends (released in October and December respectively). 

This is the official lyric video and was released on 17th January.

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), ...
