Track of the week
We Got Nothing by Alex Winston. Pop Corner favourite Winston is back with a new track, and we are ever so happy. Proclaiming we got nothing/to get from this love, it's a bit Robyn meets John Hughes. To break it down further: a shimmering synth background plus a drum machine + Winston's impassioned vocal = a welcome return.
Moan of the week
In overworked pop-star news, Meghan Trainor told OK magazine that nobody understands how hard it is being a pop star. "The exhaustion . . . No one knows how hard pop stars work, there's not a day off," she explained. "I remember talking to Jessie J and she said she's only had one day off in the last four months. I was like, 'B***t, what?"
Zero(s) of the week are adults who talk down to teens. Lorde told Billboard: "I've developed a pretty fearsome reputation. People know that if they talk down to me, I'll roll my eyes." She continued: " It's something people my age have grown up with. You can go on any young person's Tumblr in the world and see people marketing themselves." No messing with this young one.
Hero of the week
Justin Bieber’s mum, according to, well, Justin Bieber. J-Biebs uploaded a YouTube video in which he apologised for his recent behaviour. “Being young and growing up in this business is hard. I felt people were judging me and I really want people to know how much I care, how much I care about people, and how I’m not that person to say ‘I don’t give a f***,’ you know? I’m not that kid.”
