Weekly Music Video

This week's video is I know love by Canadian singer Tate McRae and featuring Australian rapper and singer (and Tate's boyfriend!) The Kid LAROI.

Tate started her career as a dancer aged 6 and went on to compete in competitions. She also took classes at her mother's dance company YYC Dance Project and learnt ballet at the Alberta Ballet Company's training school.

Tate had a successful career as a young dancer, which included winning awards, becoming a brand ambassador for dance shoes and appearing in a music video. She became more known internationally when she appeared in Season 13 of the American version of the reality TV series So You Think You Can Dance, at the age of 12 (nearly 13). She was the first Canadian finalist on the show.

In 2017, Tate started uploading videos of her singing her own original songs to her YouTube channel (which had previously featured mostly dance content). She released her first independent single One Day in 2017 and went on to release several other singles, which later appeared on The One Day LP (released in January 2021).

Tate signed to RCA Records in August 2019 and then released her debut EP All The Things I Never Said the following January.  Her breakthrough came with the release of the single You Broke Me First, in April 2020. (That's the first song of hers that I heard.)

It went viral on TikTok and was successful both in Canada and internationally, reaching the Top 10 in charts in several counties including the UK, Australia, Ireland, the Netherlands and Singapore. It was also her first single to make the American Billboard Hot 100 chart.

You Broke Me First ended up being the lead single from Tate's 2nd EP Too Young to Be Sad, which came out in March 2021. She released her debut studio album I Used to Think I Could Fly in May 2022. To date she has brought out 2 more albums- Think Later (2018) and her latest, So Close To What.

Some of Tate's hits singles are Greedy, Exes and It's OK I'm OK. Her other singles include Kids Are Alright, Rubberband, Working with American singer Khalid, 10:35 with Dutch DJ and record producer Tiesto, 2 Hands, Sports Car and her most recent, Revolving Door.

I know love is from Tate's 3rd album So Close To What, which was released on 21st February. I'm not sure if it's an official single though. There have been 4 official singles released so far- It's OK I'm Ok last September, 2 Hands (released in November), Sports Car which came out in January) and Revolving door, which was released alongside the album in February.

I know love is a pop song about the addictive nature of love and how overwhelming it can get. It's the first time that Tate and her boyfriend The Kid LAROI (real name Charlton Howard) have collaborated on music. They have been together for around a year, confirming their relationship in April 2024. LAROI's singles GIRLS and Aperol Spritz were thought to be about Tate.

This is the official video, which was uploaded on 26th February. Please note that the song contains explicit lyrics. :)

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...
