Weekly Music Video

This week's video is Bad Girls Like You (English version) by Swiss/Thai rapper and R'n'B singer Tobii and featuring Malaysian girl group DOLLA.

Tobii's full name is Tobias Phuwani Mattmueller and he started recording music at 19, living between Thailand and Switzerland. He released the EP Midnight in summer 2020 and then his music career really took off in 2021, after the release of several successful songs such as Thinkin' Bout You, Question and Kwan rak mi ngay ("Love is not easy" in English) featuring hip hop artist Jigsaw Story.*

Tobi then moved to Thailand and in 2023 was signed to Def Jam Thailand. He made his official debut with Def Jam at the festival Rolling Loud Thailand 2023. 

Tobi's music is mostly Thai, with some English lyrics. His hit singles include Taew Nee Antarai (released in 2023) , Sexy Girl and Bad Girls Like You (both 2024). He also released the Christmas single X Mas Love in December. 

The original version of Bad Girls Like You came out last September and was a hit. It's a mix of Thai and English lyrics. The song was also popular in cover dance circles, with quite a few dance covers (Dance in Public) being released. They were likely inspired by a dance version choreographed by a Thai dance studio. I wrote a Dance in Public/T-pop in Public post featuring several covers last month (see below).

For the English version of Bad Girls Like You, Tobii teamed up with trio DOLLA. It was released on 30th January and is Tobii's latest single. I like the original version and this one is good too; the DOLLA girls are a cool addition to the song. Every time I listen to both, I can't get the chorus out of my head! lol. 

This is an audio/lyric video (not an official lyric video but the lyrics are on screen). Please note that the song contains explicit lyrics. :)

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