Weekly Music Video

This week's video (or audio) is IT'S TRUE by Nigeran singer and record producer CKay and featuring  Canadian dancer, actress and singer Nora Fatehi. It's from CKay's latest album project EMOTIONS, which was released in October. 

EMOTIONS follows CKay's debut album Sad Romance (which came out in 2022) and is a fusion of Nigerian and international music. CKay (who is known as "Africa's Boyfriend") says that the album is about "vulnerablility and growth". Singles from EMOTIONS include WAHALA featuring Nigerian rapper and singer Olamide, IN MY BED and ADDICTED featuring Nigerian highlife band The Cavemen..

For IT'S TRUE, CKay teamed up with Nora, who has Moroccan heritage and is known for her dancing (in particular belly dancing). She began her acting career by appearing in Indian films (Bollywood and South Indian), both for item numbers and acting roles, and is based in India. 

Last February, Nora signed a record deal with Warner Music, with plans to release music internationally. She is still signed to Indian record label T-Series for her Bollywood music.

IT'S TRUE is a laidback Afrobeats/R'n'B song, with a mixture of English, Pidgin and Hindi lyrics. Both CKay and Nora's vocals suit the song. The audio was uploaded in October. You can find the lyrics in the info box on YouTube (plus English translations of the Hindi lyrics), or watch with subtitles. :)

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 ...

Weekly Music Video

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. I CONDEMN was released on 17th April. As with the songs on the original BEFORE I FORGET, it...

K-pop Comebacks- BTS

Sorry the 2nd post is later again this week, I didn't manage to get it finished yesterday. :) Last month I started a mini series called K-pop Comebacks, featuring the comebacks of K-pop groups during 2026. The first one was about BLACKPINK and you can see it here:  https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2026/03/k-pop-comebacks-blackpink.html Today I'm focusing on BTS (one of the most popular Korean boybands ). They debuted in 2013 and are a 7-member group, made up of leader RM, formerly known as Rap Monster (real name Kim Nam Joon), SUGA (Min Yoon Gi), Jin (full name Kim Seok Jin), j-hope (Jung Ho-seok), Jimin (Park Ji Min), V (Kim Tae Hyung) and Jungkook (Jeon Jung Kook). * Since then, the boys have been very successful, not only in South Korea but internationally. They are probably one of the most well-known K-pop bands worldwide.  In June 2022, the group took a break while the members served their  mandatory military service in Korea and have also been concentrat...
