Weekly Music Video

Today's video is Goals by LISAAnitta and Rema. The 3 artists have collaborated on the song for FIFA World Cup 2026, which is being hosted in North America this year (the US, Mexico and Canada).

Thai singer LISA is a member of one of  the most well known K-pop groups BLACKPINK and also has a successful solo career.  

Brazilian singer Anitta is one of Brazil's most popular artists (having been nicknamed the "Queen of Brazilian Pop") and has also expanded her career internationally, helped by her multilingual skills (she is fluent in Portuguese, Spanish and English). 

Nigerian singer and rapper Rema is successful in his native country, having risen to fame after his debut single Dumebi (released in March 2019) became a hit. He went on to became famous internationally, with the release of the single Calm Down in February 2022 and the remix featuring American singer Selena Gomez, which came out in August 2022. In 2025 he became the most streamed Nigerian artist on YouTube.

Goals is from the Official FIFA World Cup Album and was released as a single on 21st May. The track is described as a "vibrant global collaboration that blends Latin pop, K-pop and Afrobeats into a high-energy celebration". It's a mix of English, Spanish and Portuguese lyrics with a bit of Yoruba (Nigerian language).

This is the official music video which was released in May. LISA, Anitta and Rema also performed the song live at the opening ceremony of the World Cup at the Los Angeles Stadium in California, US, on 12th June (see below).

To be honest, I'm not  a fan of football so I'm not watching any matches but I am interested in the music! There are more collabs between international artists such Shakira and Burna Boy, and Future and Tyla, so I intend to cheek those out. I hope you're enjoying the World Cup if you're a football/soccer fan! :)

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 ...

Weekly Music Video

Sorry there wasn't a 2nd post last week, I was going through a bit of a stressful time and didn't manage to get one finished. :) This week's video is I CONDEMN by Australian singer and rapper The Kid LAROI . It was the first single from the deluxe version of his second album BEFORE I FORGET. The original album was released in January and the deluxe version came out on 24th April. It contains 9 extra tracks, including  I CONDEMN and latest single PIECES. I wasn't aware that there was a deluxe version until I saw that some new songs had appeared on Spotify! I like BEFORE I FORGET and my favourite songs from the original version are ME + YOU, JULY,  COME DOWN and RATHER BE featuring Australian rapper and singer Lithe . One of my fave songs on the deluxe version is QUIT YOU, and I also like HOLD STILL and I CONDEMN. The newest single PIECES came out on out the same day as the album. I CONDEMN was released on 17th April. As with the songs on the original BEFORE I FORGET, it...

K-pop Comebacks- BTS

Sorry the 2nd post is later again this week, I didn't manage to get it finished yesterday. :) Last month I started a mini series called K-pop Comebacks, featuring the comebacks of K-pop groups during 2026. The first one was about BLACKPINK and you can see it here:  https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2026/03/k-pop-comebacks-blackpink.html Today I'm focusing on BTS (one of the most popular Korean boybands ). They debuted in 2013 and are a 7-member group, made up of leader RM, formerly known as Rap Monster (real name Kim Nam Joon), SUGA (Min Yoon Gi), Jin (full name Kim Seok Jin), j-hope (Jung Ho-seok), Jimin (Park Ji Min), V (Kim Tae Hyung) and Jungkook (Jeon Jung Kook). * Since then, the boys have been very successful, not only in South Korea but internationally. They are probably one of the most well-known K-pop bands worldwide.  In June 2022, the group took a break while the members served their  mandatory military service in Korea and have also been concentrat...
