C-pop Saturday

Time for the first C-pop Saturday post of the year. If you're new to Star Sparkle, it's my semi-regular series sharing Chinese music. Today I'm sharing a selection of pop and R'n'B songs released in the past few months. :) 

 

DOLLA feat. Elva Suyan- MWAH!

Malaysian girl group DOLLA teamed up with Malaysian rapper Elva Suyan for the Chinese version of their single MWA! The original single was released in May 2024 and is a mixture of Malay and English lyrics.

The Chinese version came out last November. This is the official lyric video. It's a mixture of Chinese and English lyrics, and the Chinese lyrics were co-written by Elva.

 


  

Watch the music video for MWA! here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Q_OrWI2egA

And I also featured a live performance of the song in my recent Asian Girl Groups' Live Performances post: https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2026/01/asian-girl-groups-live-performances.html  

 

WayV- Eternal White 

Next up, some music from WayV, the Chinese sub-unit of Korean boyband NCT. It's their most recent single and the title track from their special album Eternal White (Winter Special Album), which was released in December last year. Eternal White is the group's 8th Chinese EP (and 9th overall including their debut Japanese EP The Highest).

Eternal White is a dance pop song with a mix of Chinese (Mandarin) and English lyrics. It's about wanting to break through the frozen/white winter time and keep moving forward. Click "Subtitles/closed captions" on YouTube for English subtitles! :) 

Eternal White was also released in December.

Karencici- Chinese title (My Fault)

Here is the latest single from Chinese American singer Karencici (which follows i'm like that featuring Korean rapper Loco in November). It translates as "My Fault" in English. 

My Fault is a slow R'n'B song and was released on 26th January. English subtitles available! :)

Grace- Refund

Finally, this is Refund by Grace. Her full name is Gracia Jonwilin (Chinese name Lin Shiya) and she is an Indonesian singer who is a member of the Taiwanese girl group HUR+. 

Refund is her new single. I'm not sure if she's released solo music before but she has uploaded covers. It's a gentle pop/dance song (with English, Indonesian and Chinese lyrics which is cool), about a relationship going wrong and wanting a "refund"!

This is the official visualiser and premiered on 20th February. English, Indonesian and Chinese subtitles are available! :)

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 ...

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...
