A mere few days after the unveiling of the lyric video, British girl-group Little Mix have premiered the official visual for their new single Little Me.
The video for the track, the second release from the pop band’s latest LP Salute, sees the girls in a more meaningful affair, focusing on asking children their aspirations for later life.
Heartwarming stuff! Take a watch below:
Acclaimed producer Dev Hynes (aka Blood Orange) is set for an upsetting Christmas after a fire destroyed his New York City apartment.
Aside from replaceable items (such as clothing), things took a turn for the worst after irreplaceable personal possessions along with his music were destroyed, and to add further devastation, Hynes girlfriend [and collaborator] Samantha Urbani’s new puppy Cupid also unfortunately lost his life in the incident.
Urbani’s mother has since set up a fundraiser page over at Go Fund Me (here) to raise funds for the producer. Even at a time of global austerity, the target of $5,000 has well and truly been smashed in less than 24 hours, with wonderful fans across the world donating almost $13,000 to the fund.
Our hearts go out to Hynes and Urbani at this terrible time. Head over to Go Fund Me, here, to donate to the fund.

80s pop warlords Tears For Fears have taken to their official Twitter account to confirm they are recording new material, set to be released at some point next year.
And finally… we'd like to officially announce that we are writing and recording new original material to be released in 2014!
— Tears for Fears (@tearsforfears) December 17, 2013
The band, who hit the top spot with such classic tracks as Everybody Wants to Rule the World and Sowing The Seeds Of Love, have also premiered a sea of new covers in celebration of their reunion, including an indie-inspired rendition of Animal Collective’s My Girls, along with Arcade Fire’s Ready To Start and Hot Chip’s And I Was A Boy From School.
The group’s Everybody Wants To Rule The World was recently covered by New Zealand wonderkid Lorde for the recent Hunger Games: Catching Fire soundtrack (listen here), whilst Canadian indie rock duo Tegan And Sara have also unveiled their own rendition of the band’s 1982 hit Pale Shelter (below). Of the latter, singer Sara Quin said “We have been heavily influenced by Tears For Fears’ impressive body of work and it was an honor to create a new version of one of our favorite songs. Matthew Dear immediately came to mind as an exciting collaborator and we were delighted when he said yes! Matthew had suggested we try a vocal riff off the top of the song, and I think it adds a nice signature and melody to the final track”.
Take a listen to the covers below, and hit the iTunes link to be taken to the British group’s vast (and may we say, superb!) discography:
Toni Braxton and Babyface have unveiled the next release from their forthcoming collaborative album Love, Marriage and Divorce with new single Where Did We Go Wrong?.
The track is a wonderful R&B ballad, bringing us back to reality on how strong Braxton’s vocals really are/were.
Take a listen below. Love, Marriage and Divorce is set for release in February
Wiley has dropped one of his strongest tunes to date, with new single Fuck It, just in time for Christmas.
The track sees Eski-boy overlaying his bars over a SERIOUS Deeco-beat.
Fuck It is available now; hit the iTunes link to buy now, and press play below to listen:
After the audio appeared online last week, Pixie Lott has premiered the official video to new single Heart Cry.
Taken from her upcoming self-titled third studio LP, Heart Cry is a promotional cut whilst Lott gears up the release of official first single Nasty, set to be released in January.
Watch the full visual below:
John Mayer and Katy Perry have premiered the official video for new duet Who You Love.
The video, which some have mooted as a potential ‘Bound 4’ (a mimic of last month’s Kanye West / Kim Kardashian visual) due to the almost motorcycle-esque scene within the piece, is the third release from Mayer’s latest LP Paradise Valley, and was premiered on US TV show Good Morning America around an hour back.

Following yesterday’s unveiling of the full track, British rising sensation Foxes has premiered the lyric video to new track Holding Onto Heaven.
Take a watch below; it’s likely Holding Onto Heaven will be a promotional track for the singer’s forthcoming album Glorious, vs an all-out single. Either way, it’s still great music!
