Radiance of You by Alarice (Lyrics and Music Video Launch)

The happy and cute music video is out today! I can't stop watching Alarice's pretty face and some dance moves while she sings Radiance of You. More amusing actually is to see friends and familiar faces dance and more to be a part of this video - I am actually one of the audience in the party scene towards the end :)

Listen to the catchy and infectious music now!

I know this project is a collective effort of those who are dear and close to Alarice so it's heart-warming to see the final product. Bravo to Alarice and everyone in the team behind this MV!

Radiance of You is just one of the songs of The Kingdom Album, which will be launched on March 29 at 6pm at TAB. Join us for a night of good music and fellowship :)

Early bird tickets at $20 till 19 March only.

I'm so in love with this song that I took the pain of writing down the lyrics so I can sing along with the right words :)

The Radiance of You

I’m coming after you

I’m chasing down everything you do

Like birds of a feather

Or a moth to a flame

The radiance of you.

I see you all around

I spot you in the faces of the crowd

Like a smile on a baby boy

Or a symphony in a song

I’m coming after you.

Your beauty stretches to the sky

I’m enamoured by your grace

A love that cannot be contained

It’s spilling over me.

‘Cause you’re gonna be everything

I’ve ever wanted

You’re gonna be everything

I’ve ever wanted

I know it in my heart

You’re the one to fill my cup

Yes you’re gonna be everything

I’ll ever want

You’re gonna be everything

I’ve ever wanted

I’ve know it from the start

You’ve always been the missing part of me.

I’m coming after you

I’m falling for everything you do

Like a lovesick puppy

The radiance of you

Butterflies in the tummy

The radiance of you.

I hear you like the sound

Of a siren that is ringing all around

Like a record in its player

Or a tune that’s a favourite

I’m coming after you.

Your beauty stretches to the sky

I’m enamoured by your grace

A love that cannot be contained

It’s spilling over me.

You’re gonna be everything

I’ve ever wanted

You’re gonna be everything

I’ve ever wanted

I know it in my heart

You’re the one to fill my cup

Yes you’re gonna be everything

I’ve ever wanted

You’re gonna be everything

I’ve ever wanted

I know it from the start

You’ve always been the missing part of me.

Oh I feel like a drum

My heart is racing

To the sound of your heartbeat

I’m sinking into all who you are

Just falling into

You’re gonna be everything

I’ve ever wanted

You’re gonna be everything

I’ve ever wanted

I’ve know it in my heart

You’re the one to fill my cup

You’re gonna be everything

I’ve ever wanted

You’re gonna be everything

I’ve ever wanted

I know it in my heart

You fill me up

‘Cause you’re gonna be everything

I’ve ever wanted

You’re gonna be everything

I’ve ever wanted

I know it from the start

You’ve always been the missing part of me.

The Merchants of Bollywood

I have heard of the term Bollywood and I've seen bits and pieces from YouTube clips and Hollywood films such as Slumdog Millionaire and TV shows such as Outsourced. However, these did not prepare me for what I was about to see when I stepped into the Grand Theater of Marina Bay Sands last night.

Intricately detailed and lavish costumes, humorous lines, exaggerated acting and high-energy dancing from start until the very end made this show very entertaining to watch (no boring parts!) No wonder London's The Times describes it as "Their energy is electrifying.. it's a high octane pleasure."

The free tickets gifted to us by Base Entertainment gave us VIP seats (second row, woot!) and we were so close to the stage that we literally saw sweat splashing as the dancers danced their hearts out. Thank you Base Entertainment!

This Australian musical written and directed by Toby Gough is about the history of the Bollywood film industry. Based on the true story of a well-known Bollywood dance choreographer Vaibhavi Merchant and her grandfather Hiralalji Merchant, a pioneering Bollywood choreographer, this musical started touring in 2006 and was well-received in Europe, Australia, Canada and Asia. The group had a sold-out run in Singapore in 2010.
