Bits About Pop: From Kylie showing off her handwriting skills to Skylar Grey working with David Guetta because it’s probably an easy way to help pay the bills

  • January 17, 2014

BAP-2014

  • Kylie’s written the lyrics to her new single ‘Into The Blue’ on some paper, then taken a picture of it, put a blue ‘hue’ on it after­wards and basically made it all com­pletely illegible. (Popjustice) Cheers!
  • Also, a casting agency are looking for some “genuine” Kylie fans for a doc­u­ment­ary thing. (Kate and Lou Casting)
  • There’s a radio rip of a new MØ song online by the way. (Soundcloud)
  • Last night ‘I Love It’ rejecter Charli XCX popped a brand new song onto the internet and it’s a bit of a racket to be honest with you. (Popjustice)
  • Katy Perry asked her American fans to video them­selves saying why their city is ‘Prismatic’ for some tour video #content and now it’s on the internet. (Facebook)
  • The new season (series) of American Idol hasn’t got off to the best start ratings-wise. (Billboard)
  • Miley Cyrus is going to have loads of junk fall from the ceiling onto her fans at her forth­com­ing ‘gigs’. (The Guardian)
  • Laughing boy James Blake has taken a massive musical shit all over Beyoncé’s ‘Drunk In Love’. (YouTube)
  • Little Mix have followed in the footsteps of Melanie G by covering Cameo’s ‘Word Up!’. (Popjustice). Their version is for charity, mind you.
  • Madonna’s on crutches after appar­ently bruising a bone in her foot while having a bit of a dance. (Instagram)
  • In other popstars on crutches news, One Direction lead vocalist Niall Horan has revealed that he’s recently undergone surgery on his knee and that it was “a complete success”. (BBC Newsbeat)
  • Chvrches have recorded a cover of a Bauhaus song (of course!) for the soundtrack to a film about vampires. (Pitchfork) Sky Ferreira, Katy Perry and Natalia Kills are also on it if that helps at all.
  • There’s a bril­liantly OTT trailer for the second series of The Big Reunion right here.
  • Anne-Marie's put a new demo onto the internet for everyone to have a listen to. (Soundcloud)
  • Relative veteran Katy B is playing a ‘gig’ as part of MTV’s Brand New for 2014 thing alongside Ella Eyre and Sam Smith (and Joel Compass, George Ezra and Kwabs). (Digital Spy)
  • Pop artist Lykke Li’s said that she’d like to be known as a “singer-song­writer rather than a pop artist” for her forth­com­ing third album. (NME) CHEERS LYKKE.
  • Chart catnip Pharrell is quite excited about his Oscar nom­in­a­tion. So excited in fact that he can barely utter a single word about it all. (Billboard)
  • In other Pharrell news, ‘Happy’ has now ‘shifted’ over half a million sales in the UK so that’s exciting news for Pharrell and his record label. (Music Week)
  • We will not forget: Miss Dynamix have called it a day. (Twitter)
  • And finally, ‘GRRRR’ hitmaker David Guetta and Skylar Grey have col­lab­or­ated on a song together and a bit of it is now online. (Popjustice)

And just for old time's sake…

What a song.
