Earlier this week, Billie Eilish paid a visit to the SiriusXM studios to perform renditions of her hit singles ‘You Should See Me in a Crown’, and the recently-released ‘When the Party’s Over’.

Not intent on leaving the place with just two songs, mind, the youngster also delivered a hushed, stripped-back cover of Childish Gambino’s ‘Telegraph Ave’. At just over one minute in length, this cover was way too short – we’d love to hear this in Billie’s live shows.

Mike Skinner has shared his brand new single as The Streets, teaming up with Chip and Swindon-raised Grim Sickers for ‘Call Me In The Morning’.

Premiered on Annie Mac’s latest Radio 1 show, the song comes ahead of a new mixtape from The Streets, which will land next year, alongside the group’s upcoming sold-out residency at London’s Brixton Academy in February.

Skinner recently revealed his further plans for 2019, including the release of a movie, plus a string of festival shows. “I’m going to be releasing more music as and when I feel inspired in the lead-up to the film” he tells Q Magazine – “I’ve got a track that will be out by the time this runs, I think, Called ‘Call Me In The Morning’ with Chip and Grim Sickers, which is really good. And I’m planning a mixtape during 2019, as well as getting back into the swing of festivals. Then I’m going to make my film, release my album and after that we’re going to buy the West End off Andrew Lloyd Webber.”

Hear Christine and the Queens cover Rihanna’s ‘Kiss It Better’ in the Live Lounge

Christine and The Queens became the latest entrant into Radio 1’s Live Lounge Month earlier today (21st November), bringing music from her recent album ‘Chris’ alongside a striking cover to the broadcaster’s Maida Vale Studios.

Performing her huge hit ‘5 Dollars’, the French singer (who’s currently touring the UK in support of her new record) also fused together Kate Bush’s ‘Wuthering Heights’ with Rihanna’s ‘Kiss It Better’ as her ‘Live Lounge cover’ of choice. Of the original, Chris spoke to Radio 1’s Clara Amfo, saying “When I think of Rihanna I think of empowerment. Anti is all about being strong when you unfold, which is quite compelling I think. The strength never stops, it’s quite a feminist statement”.
