Weekly Music Video

Today's video is LaSalle Ave by American singer Jay Chang. His real name is Jay Steven Kapossy and he has a Filipino Chinese mum and Irish/Hungarian dad. 

Jay was born in the US but moved to South Korea for his music career. He followed in the footsteps of his dad, who was a musician in the 80s. 

He started out by competing on the Korean survival programme Under Nineteen in 2018 and while he didn't make the final group, he went on to make his solo debut with the digital single Is you in November 2020. He released two other digital singles- LIAR and I'd do anything.

Jay later signed with FM Entertainment. In 2023 he competed on another audition programme, BOYS PLANET and although he didn't make it in to the final line-up for the project boyband ZEROBASEONE, he became well known and it kickstarted his career. 

He made his official solo debut in October 2023 with the EP LATE NIGHT, which is a mixture of Korean and English tracks. The lead singles were I'll Be There and Rockstar. 

A month later, Jay also made his group debut with the 5-member boy band ONE PACT, made up of previous BOYS PLANET contestants. In addition, he also took part in the reality music competition Build Up: Vocal Boy Group Survival in early 2024. He placed first with his team, going on to debut as the project boy group B.D.U in June 2024.

Last November, Jay released his 2nd mini album Neighborhood. 

He has released 2 singles from the album so far- LaSalle Ave and What You Need featuring his ONE PACT bandmate TAG. 

He hasn't released much lately (his most recent video being a live cover of Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars' 2024 single Die With A Smile, with Filipino American singer Kriesha Chu. Maybe he's concentrating more on band activities right now. :) 

LaSalle Ave came out last November. I saw Jay perform it on Simply K-pop Con Tour at the time. It's an English language R'n'B song about memories from the past, reminiscent of old soul songs from the 60s and 70s. I also like the cat in the music video! :)

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), ...

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...

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 ...
