It's only 5 days till Christmas (seems to have come round quickly again!), so it's time for another festive themed post! Last year I wrote a post called Christmas Entertainment! You can see it here: https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2024/12/christmas-entertainment.html For 2025, I'm sharing more Christmas entertainment. It's a mixture of music and dance. :)   Music Tobii- X Mas Love Thai/Swiss rapper and R'n'B singer  Tobii's  X Mas Love was this week's Weekly Music Video. Originally released in December 2024, he brought out a new visualiser for the song last month.

  It's just over a week till Christmas so today's video is festive themed. :) This is X mas Love by Thai/Swiss rapper and R'n'B singer Tobii . The single was originally released a year ago (December 2024). At the time a lyric video was uploaded to YouTube. Now Tobii has released a visualiser in time for Christmas 2025! X mas Love is a sexy R'n'B song about being with your lover at Christmas! It's a mixture of Thai and English lyrics and was written and composed by Tobii. This is the official visualiser and was uploaded on 25th November.      Watch the official lyric video here:   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mcvtYABDrUI   Tobii fan?

Today's video is Ooh by Korean American rapper BM (who is a member of mixed gender/co-ed K-pop group KARD ). It's his latest single and is from his 2nd EP PO:INT, which came out on 20th October. The EP is the follow-up to BM's debut EP Element , which was released in May 2024. Ooh is the 2nd single from PO:INT, coming after Freak featuring Korean rapper B.I , (released on the same day as the EP). It's an English language R'n'B/hip hop song with Latin influences. Ooh was released on 4th December.   Also watch the music video for Freak here:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eq92CQE9X9g   And visit this link to stream/listen to PO:INT:  https://lnk.to/KARDBM_POINT     BM and/or KARD fan?

Sorry the 2nd post is later this week, I haven't been well and didn't manage to finish it yesterday. :) Last year I started a new series on the blog called Random Albums, where I feature an album I own. The first one was Teedra Moses' debut album Complex Simplicity . You can see it here:  https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2024/09/random-albums-teedra-moses-complex.html Note: It was just over a year ago now and I haven't done another post in the series yet! I plan to get back to it in 2026. :) Complex Simplicity was originally released in August 2004 in the US (but not till June 2005 in the UK). Teedra released a 15th anniversary edition of the album in September 2009. Last year was the 20th anniversary. Now she has brought out a new version of the album called COMPLEX SIMPLICITY (REIMAGINED), in EP format. It was released on 12th November. Teedra says it features re-imaginings of songs she wrote at a much younger age  and is a thank you to fans.  She also says that wh...

This week's video is Deliler, the brand-new single by Turkish Belgian singer Ayshe . It's been a long time since I've listened to her music or featured her on the blog! I just came across the video the other day. :) Deliler is a Turkish pop song and I think the title translates as "Crazy" in English. It was released on 30th November.     Follow Ayshe on Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/akinnnayse/   Want more Turkish music?
