Bits About Pop: From MNEK giving away some songs for free to one of Lady Gaga’s friends feeling a bit poorly

  • March 14, 2014
  • Brad O'Mance

BAP-2014Look, it's finally Friday, let's all just settle down and enjoy some inform­at­ive BAPs.

  • You can get two free MNEK songs (well, ‘stripped back’ versions of them anyway) by signing up to his news­let­ter thing. (Official site)
  • Jennifer Lopez’s video for the still ludicrous and amazing ‘I Luh Ya PaPi’ is now online. (Popjustice) She seems to think it's some sort of brave feminist statement.
  • ‘Julia’ hitmaker SZA has announced some things about her new EP. (Idolator)
  • Despite saying they were ‘going on a break’ after their forth­com­ing arena tour, The Wanted are still up for doing some corporate shows here and there. (Popjustice)
  • Perrie Little Mix has explained what Jesy Little Mix meant when she said Zayn Malik fans were stupid. (Sugarscape)
  • Sia’s big comeback single is called ‘Chandelier’ and it’s out on Monday. (Popjustice) OH AND YOU CAN HEAR A BIT OF IT TOO (Popjustice)
  • Here’s Kylie having a bit of a chat on camera. (Digital Spy)
  • VV Brown’s song ‘Faith’ (which now features Kele Okereke of Bloc Party fame) has a video to fo with it. (Popjustice)
  • It looks like William Orbit has a new album with “‘big name’ artists” coming soon. (Facebook)
  • Cher Lloyd’s new single ‘Sirens’ is now on the internet and it’s really very good. (Popjustice)
  • Rita Ora’s single now has some ‘cover art’ and there’s a bit of it in a ‘behind the scenes’ video thing. (Vevo)
  • We asked Joe McElderry if he’d sing the world Harlow instead of Halo during a cover of Beyoncé’s ‘Halo’ and because he’s the nicest man in pop he only went and bloody did it. (Popjustice)
  • Electropop jesters Monarchy have popped a cover of Nine Inch Nails’ ‘Closer’ on the internet. (Soundcloud)
  • Charli XCX performed a new song at SXSW and appar­ently it might be her new single. (Popjustice)
  • Also at SXSW, someone threw up on Lady Gaga during ‘Swine’ but appar­ently it’s all part of the show. (Popjustice)

And for old time's sake…
