Weekly Music Video

Today's video is Chop by Sugarboy featuring Ycee. Sugar Boy (real name Umoren Akanimoh Felix) is a Nigerian singer. His music is a mixture of Afrobeat, reggae and dancehall. He started out by featuring on the song BADMAN by MC Modenine in 2010. He signed to the G-Worldwide Entertainment record label in 2015 and released the song Raba with DJ Shabsy and Kiss Daniel.  Sugarboy's other singles include Swagger Man Dope, Hola Hola and Molue with Kiss Daniel.

Chop is his latest single. It's an Afro-fusion song, a mix of house and Highlife, a music genre that originated in Ghana and is popular in Nigeria. There' s also Igbo highlife which comes from Nigeria.

Note 5/12/18: This song kind of reminds me of Lisa Stanfield's  All Around the World, due to the lyrics "Been around the word and I can't find my baby", although the songs are not similar at all!

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

Debut XG Mini Album

Japanese girl group XG have released their 1st mini album. It's called NEW DNA and was released on 27th September. XG (whose name is short for Xtraordinary Girls) made their debut in March last year and have brought out 7 singles so far- Tippy Toes, MASCARA, LEFT RIGHT/SHOOTING STAR double single), GVRL GANG , TGIF, NEW DANCE and PUPPET SHOW. The first 3 songs (or 4 including the double single) aren't on the mini album. The concept behind NEW DNA is that of being a "new species" free from conventions and limitations .  Although the group is Japanese, their creation was inspired by Korean music and they are based in South Korea. They have released songs in English so far and have been described as a global group and "X-pop". NEW DNA consists of 6 tracks- HESONO, X-GENE, GVRL GANG, TGIF, NEW DANCE and PUPPET SHOW. It is an R'n'B/pop mini album with influences from other genres, such as K-pop, dance and hip hop. My favourite song is PUPPET SHOW. I al
