C-pop Saturday

Time for another instalment of my semi-regular series C-pop Saturday! Today I'm sharing some Chinese pop,R'n'B and dance. :)

 

MEME- Wei Xian Ren Wu

First up is Wei Xian Ren Wu by Taiwanese girl group MEME (also written as ME ME). It consists of 5 members- Xiao Feng,  Xiao Ti, Strawberry and An Ru. I believe their Chinese name is a homophone of "secret", which, according to info on their YouTube channel, "evokes a sense of mystery and reflects the members' commitment to innovate and bring unpredictable surprises to their audience" through their work. 

Please note: I used Google Translate, so I hope this information is accurate! :)

MEME debuted in June 2024 with the single MY BLACK EYES. To date they have released two more singles- Seaside Tour in February this year and Tian Kong Qing Niao (Bluebird in the Sky/Sky Bluebird) in April. Individual members have also released songs. 

The title of this song is written in Chinese but I think that the Romanised version is Wei Xian Ren Wu.  It translates as "Dangerous Person/Man" in English.  It's the group's latest single and was released in June.

Wei Xian Ren Wu is described as a "retro Rn'B track that showcases the girls' sweetness and sensuality". It came out in June.

JOLIN- Pillow

Next up is Pillow, the latest single by Chinese singer Jolin Tsai (also known as Jolin Cai). It's from her new digital album Pleasure, which was released in July. It's been a long time since Jolin has released an album, her previous one UGLY BEAUTY came out back in 2018. Pleasure is her 15th studio album and is based around the seven deadly sins.

Pillow is the 3rd song to be released, following the title track Pleasure in May and DIY in June. Pleasure was Jolins' 1st single since 2023's Oh LA LA LA (released to celebrate McDonald's 40th anniversary in Taiwan).

I'm not sure if Pillow is an official single or just a music video release. It's a softer track than the previous releases, a romantic song. The music video features Jolin as an actress who develops real feelings for her male co-star during filming.

Pillow came out in August. Click "Subtitles/closed captions" on YouTube for English subtitles! :)

GENBLUE- BADASS

Taiwanese girl group GENBLUE released their latest single BADASS last month. It's the lead single from their 2nd EP album MIRROR. Both the single and EP came out on 22nd September.

BADASS is an upbeat, dance pop song. English subtitles available! :)

TSZ- Back At 2 Me

Finally, here is Back At 2 Me by TSZ. I can't find much information about him but I think he's a Chinese singer and his real name is Jun Hao Hu. His previous singles include Bumble Bee (2023) and Horny (2023).

Back At 2 Me is TSZ's latest single. It was produced by Korean music producer Moode and is a dance pop song, inspiredny UK garage.  The lyrics are a mix of English and Chinese.

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 ...
