Bits About Pop: From Stine of Alphabeat’s solo plan to Adam Levine re Noel Edmonds: “I’m a fan”

  • January 10, 2014
  • Brad O'Mance

BAP-2014These Bits About Pop are fresh out of the pop oven. Beware, they’re hot (actually some have cooled off a bit but approach with caution anyway).

  • While Alphabeat have a bit of rest, Stine Bramsen’s decided to carry on with this pop malarky with her new single ‘Prototypical’. (Popjustice)
  • A lyric from the new Kylie single has ‘appeared’. (Popjustice). There’s also (finally) some concrete news on the album and the single (it’s out March 16). (Popjustice)
  • In other Kylie news… Blimey. (YouTube)
  • In more Kylie news, her next single (after the one we haven’t even heard yet) will feature a man who isn’t Pitbull, Robin Thicke or Jay'-’Z. Jason Donovan? (Popjustice forum)
  • Just when you thought there couldn’t be any more Kylie news, there is appar­ently a col­lab­or­a­tion (called 'Beautiful') on the new Enrique Iglesias album. (EFE)
  • The literally not very good ‘cover art’ for Katy Perry's 'Dark House' has been 'unveiled'. (Popjustice)
  • Video evidence of Chvrches covering Janelle Monae’s ‘Tightrope’ in a live scenario (in front of Janelle Monae herself) has surfaced. (Pitchfork)
  • REJOICE: Furby enthu­si­asts Stooshe are back in the studio! (Twitter)
  • Record label advocate Lily Allen’s new single is called ‘Air Balloon’ and will be played on Monday on Radio 1 (aka what no one is calling Shakiranna Day). (Popjustice)
  • Lily’s also been accused of breaking the embargo regarding Sam Smith ‘topping’ the BBC Sound Of poll, which is a bit much con­sid­er­ing it was our exclusive but what can you do. (NME)
  • French tele­vi­sion has banned a four month old Miley and a three month old Britney video. (Billboard)
  • Ella Eyre has covered ‘Black and Gold’ (seriously though, what a tune) in the Live Lounge. (YouTube)
  • Here’s an inter­est­ing feature thing Little Boots did with the Sunday Times that wasn’t online but now is about her exper­i­ences in the music industry so far. (Official website)
  • Beyoncé (or rather someone from her social media ‘team’) has popped the video of Cheryl Cole dancing to ‘***Flawless’ on her official Facebook page. (Facebook)
  • Also, in other Beyoncé news, Busta Rhymes and the record industry’s best friend Azealia Banks have created an unof­fi­cial remix of ‘Partition’. (Soundcloud)
  • Pixie Lott’s ‘Nasty’ was played on the radio this morning and then uploaded to the internet and then written about as a news story. (Digital Spy)
  • ‘Creative power­house’ Justin Timberlake is the new face of some tequila brand. (Chicago Business)
  • Jessie J is no longer sup­port­ing Robin Thicke on tour because she needs to focus on making the American version of ‘Alive’ semi-decent. (MTV)
  • Lea Michele’s full ‘cleaning out the loft’ video for ‘Cannonball’ has arrived. (Popjustice)
  • Nicholas McDonald’s album of covers will be out in roughly eight weeks' time. (Twitter)
  • Hold on to your hats, Rylan has something music-related on the way. (Digital Spy)
  • Seeing her fans cry made Foxes realise she was a popstar. (Evening Standard)
  • Nicki Minaj has ‘uploaded’ a video of herself rapping in ‘Spanglish’ on Instagram. The song isn’t for her album though, so it might have been a pointless exercise. (Instagram)
  • Finally, Adam Levine has been enjoying a bit of Deal Or No Deal during Maroon 5’s current UK tour. (Twitter)

And just for old time's sake…

What a song.
