Apparently Miley Cyrus's sister is in a pop band, and apparently they actually own?

I recommend the EP they released last year, it's only 4 songs but they're all good. Wonder if she'll blow up like Miley did, though this is definitely a bit less chart poppy than she is

The original Sugababes are back as Mutya Keisha Siobhan, they just released a song based on Kendrick Lamar's Swimming Pools, and it's fantastic. Supposedly this is just a little semi-cover that they recorded for a laugh, but I think it's good enough to be a single. Their voices are perfect :allears:

Florrie is super cool, but the first EP is the best thing she has done. It's hard to top that.

I prefer her second EP, the three middle songs are all amazing. Her best tune is probably Left Too Late though. Anyway, I'm really hyped about her proper album because I love her :allears:

Miley Cyrus's wondrous new single with Snoop ~~Dogg~~ Lion was just released, and it's amazing. Very No Doubt-ish. Now this is how you do a career reinvention.

It's really good yeah, although I like the Miley bits a lot more than the Snoop bits (is it him? doesn't sound like how I remember)

Her sister is still better though :colbert:

She has three EPs that are all well worth listening to, and hopefully an album coming out soonish

The X-Factor finalist success is pretty hard to predict. I mean you get the usual winners songs (who can disappear after that one song) and some lower placed people like JLS and 1D and Cher Lloyd and Diana Vickers who do pretty well but get dropped and the second album is a joke time-wise (WHERE IS IT VICKO), and then there are the curveballs, like I don't think anyone expected Amelia Lily to break top 20, never mind top 2 (and now she's gone too).

Oh and the Charli XCX album is great, you should listen to it.

The Diana Vickers album should be out later this year! It has a tracklist with track times and everything! And Amelia Lily has a new album out in May! Granted, there's absolutely no guarantee anyone will care about either

and yeah, the Charli XCX album is really nie

I think he means people have mistaken James Arthur for a serious artist, when he is in fact just a dull one. I think he'll do a bit better than Matt Cardle but I don't really see him being all that popular for very long. He fancies himself a songwriter as well but I bet his songs are terrible

God Sky Ferriera is awesome. I loved the Ghost EP she dropped at the beginning of the year, and based on You're Not the One, she's absolutely picked the best path to travel down from it.

Yeah I love this new song, her album's out soon and on the strength of what I've heard from her so far it should be excellent.

Going back to this for a moment, does anybody have any thoughts on the childish feud going on (or perhaps it's blown over; I haven't paid a lot of attention) between Miley Cyrus and Sinead O'Connor?

Nothing to say really other than that it's embarrassing for everyone involved

Say Lou Lou have another wonderful track called Maybe You from a while ago (when they were known as Saint Lou Lou). I'm really looking forward to an EP or album from them but I don't know if anything is really happening

I haven't listened to it, but the main criticism I've heard from people I know who have and who like pop music is that it's just not very good music.

Oh and Charli XCX is releasing a new album in June. In hindsight the debut wasn't as great as it could've been but eh, can't win them all.

It's my favourite album of the year, hit after hit after hit

I'm not that fussed about Beyonce but I do think it's super cool that a musician who is THAT big can still just release an album out of nowhere with no leaks at all. Props to Beyonce

I remember being convinced that "Next To Me" and "Read All About It" would be as big in 2012 as "Rolling In the Deep" and "Someone Like You" were in 2011; I guess Adele dominated for too long for anyone similar-sounding to get a proper look in.

I don't really remember Rolling In The Deep coming out at all but I've heard Read All About It loving everywhere since it came out, all the time, which is annoying because I absolutely haaaaate it and Emeli Sande.

Chinese Food was funny but this video's just really weird for the aforementioned reasons

If Alison was 10 years older this would probably be the closest thing to a legitimate song that guy's pushed out

I genuinely kind of liked Chinese Food, it was so stupid but I like the chorus quite a bit

Vanbot is pretty cool. Really you can't go wrong with some Swedish sadbangers.

Also there is a new Florrie EP coming this ~spring~ it's called Sirens it's gonna be great.

I'm excited about this because I think she's great but for gently caress's sake, when is she going to do a real album :mad:

I read her recent update where she said she'd been working day in day out on her album for a year, so why can't I hear it

I just feel like I've been listening to her EPs forever with the promise of something bigger always around the everlasting corner

There was a good article on Popjustice about that Ed Sheeran song, where they recalled vociferously slandering him in the past but had to admit that the new song was great. Listening to it now for the first time, I'm not sure what the fuss is all about, although it is more palatable than his previous stuff. Sounds a bit Timberlakey. Still not really my thing I don't think

Experiments is definitely her best release. I've been a bit underwhelmed by most of the stuff she's done since then, there are a couple of good songs here and there as well as some absolute dross.

also her best song is probably Left Too Late

Did anyone ITT ever get into Nadia Oh

I think she is hilarious and wonderful and brilliant. Colours is one of the best pop albums of the last 5 years, and definitely the funniest. Top Nadia songs:

The Miley album is really cool. I'll definitely be cutting out a lot of it at some point, but there are enough good tracks that it would have made a stellar regular length album. Didn't really think she had this kind of sound in her

Yeah it's great, though I actually think my favourite track is Fish Bowl which is the one where they do a beautiful fuzz rock chorus that's nothing like anything else they've done
