Steel Panther’s Satchel brands K-Pop boy band BTS ‘s***t’

OHMYGOSSIP — Steel Panther’s guitarist Satchel has branded BTS the “worst f****** s***” he’s ever heard.
The member of the comedic glam metal band made his mind up about the K-Pop boy band after listening to just two songs.
In a Q+A for Classic Rock magazine, he said: “Recently we went to Japan and I had a day to kill. I was trapped in my hotel room and somebody told me (South Korean boy band) BTS had sold out the Raiders stadium where I live in Vegas. I was like: ‘No f****** way can this be happening – and why?’ I had to figure it out. So I listened to two songs. It was the worst f****** s*** I’ve ever heard in my life.”
In the same feature, the 52-year-old rocker – whose real name is Russell John Parrish – said he wants his own band’s song, the X-rated ‘Gloryhole’, to be played at his funeral.
He said: “I’d like to have Steel Panther songs played at my funeral, because they’re pretty lighthearted and I don’t want to have a depressing funeral. So I hope they play ‘Gloryhole’ really loud.”
Meanwhile, the ‘Death to All But Metal’ rockers – who formed in Los Angeles in 2000 – previously reassured fans that they will “continue to rock the world” following the departure of bassist Lexxi Foxx in 2021.
They wrote: “Steel Panther will continue to rock the world. And though we may not ever find a bassist quite as beautiful as Lexxi, it shouldn’t be hard to find one to match his towering intellect.
“Good luck… And goodbye Lexxi Foxx!!”

Bono admits all of U2 have considered quitting the band at some stage

OHMYGOSSIP — Bono has “certainly thought about” quitting U2.
The ‘One’ singer admitted he and bandmates The Edge, Adam Clayton, and Larry Mullen Jr. have all considered leaving the band at various points during their lengthy careers but are ultimately compelled to stay together to create the ultimate song.
Speaking on upcoming Disney+ documentary ‘A Kind Of Homecoming’, he admitted: “I have certainly thought about walking away from U2, every member has. We have all thought about it.
“It is the right instinct to question whether this should still be going and what it demands of all four members.
“But the reason why I want to go forward is something is stirring in my voice and my singing and the desire to write songs we don’t have yet. We are chasing the dragon of the song we can’t get.
“The real magic of U2 is that everything we needed, the people we needed, were always right there.”
The 62-year-old singer admitted his activism has “tested the patience” of his bandmates at times.
He said: “Friendship is deeply part of who we are, but you could lose that along the way. We had to work on it.
“If you are in a rock and roll band, you don’t want to be in the photograph with some people who might have polarising opposite values you hold dear, and I did that to them.
“I am turning what we created as a band into currency that I chose to spend in these areas.
“By and large they support me, but I do know I test their patience.”
Guitarist The Edge agreed, admitting there has been “a lot of tension” over the years.
He said: “The fact we are still together is a remarkable thing. We kind of grew up together and learnt how to be people of the world via the band.
“We are probably a little institutionalised by being in this thing a little too long. There are many times in the past I think we were pushing our look a little too far. It was hard for us. There was a lot of tension.”

The Hu eye Babymetal collaboration

OHMYGOSSIP — The Hu are planning to work with Babymetal again.
The Mongolian rockers got to play with the Japanese kawaii metal band – comprising Suzuka Nakamoto as Su-metal and Moa Kikuchi as Moametal – in 2019, and they’ve hinted at joining forces with them again in the future.
In a fan Q+A published by Metal Hammer magazine, frontman Gala said: “Babymetal are incredible! The way they perform is inspirational, and the energy is unmatchable. There’s no doubt that we’ll work with Babymetal again, because not only they are amazing artists, they’re great touring company and we have fun together.”
Elsewhere, the singer also revealed that the band play video games to “let off some steam” on the road.
Their songs are featured in ‘Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order’ and ‘The Sims 4’, and they are hoping to continue making tunes for sci-fi franchise ‘Star Wars’.
He said: “We tour heavily, so game consoles have become a great friend to let off some steam. UFC and soccer are currently our favourite, but when ‘Fallen Order’ first came out, we played it non-stop, so we’re looking forward to hopefully doing more collaborations with the Star Wars games and universe.”
The HU are ambassadors of Mongolia, and while they are pleased to be promoting their country around the world, the group admit it is “a lot of responsibility”.
They said previously: “We’re so honoured to be ambassadors of Mongolia to the world. But it’s a lot of responsibility.
“We’ve got to do better. We try so hard to perfect our sound and try to perform better, and we want to represent Mongolia positively.”

Rita Ora wants to play herself in a biopic

OHMYGOSSIP — Rita Ora wants to play herself in a biopic.
The 32-year-old pop star – who was born in Kosovo but was raised in London – believes that a movie documenting her rise to fame should be made and that she should be the one to take on the starring role.
She told The Daily Star newspaper’s Wired column: “A really great struggling role about growing up in the hood in London and making it out, a success story. “A drama with some dark comedy.I think I’d like to play the older version of myself. A younger me, I don’t know.”
Meanwhile, the ‘Hot Right Now’ hitmaker signed a deal with record label BMG last year and as part of the contract and was given control of her own masters, something which the late ‘Purple Rain’ hitmaker Prince – who she worked with in 2013 – had advised her was important to do.
She reflected on Prince famously once saying: “If you don’t own your masters, your master owns you.”
Rita said: “He said it to me when I was with him but I never thought that was a possibility for me. I was like, ‘There’s no way. I’m not going to get on anyone’s bad side’. I’m now in a position where I own my own masters – I can control where we’re going, what we’re publishing.
“I was a huge, huge pleaser back then. I was taught to do what everyone else wanted.”
The ‘Anywhere’ singer has also been inspired by Taylor Swift and her dispute over the rights to her early master recordings, which resulted in her re-recording the songs herself.
She said: “Taylor really did inspire me. It was a big leap to do this deal… it wasn’t smooth sailing.
Rita has now offered to give advice to new artists who are unsure how to protect their own work.
She said: “I’m always here to talk. Up and coming artists that really want to ask me about it, I’m here for it.”

MUNA have ‘mutual respect’ with label boss Phoebe Bridgers

OHMYGOSSIP — MUNA say being signed to Phoebe Bridgers’ label was a no-brainer because they have “mutual respect” for each other.
The LA trio – comprising Katie Gavin, Josette Maskin and Naomi McPherson – were dropped by major label RCA Records in 2021, and they insist they work much better on the megastar’s indie label Saddest Factory because she is a real fan of their music and they can be themselves.
Speaking to Musicfeeds.com.au, Katie said: “There are a couple of things. The basis is just mutual respect. We have so much respect for Phoebe, not just as an artist, not just as a label runner, but as a human being. Our whole team is full of people that we just genuinely love – and not only like working with, but like hanging out with, and that’s so rare. Phoebe came into our lives initially just as a fan of our music and we were also fans of hers.
“Once we got dropped by RCA… [going to an indie label] was something we had been thinking about for a while, because of the way that we actually function as a band. We sound very major label because Naomi’s such a pristine producer, and so it can sound like we have a fat recording budget, but we do a lot with just the three of us and a big chunk of time in our little basement studio.”
The group – who have shared a stage with Harry Styles and Kacey Musgraves – had teamed up with Phoebe on the 2021 hit ‘Silk Chiffon’ and released their first album on the label, ‘MUNA’, last year.
Meanwhile, Naomi – who dated bandmate Katie – previously admitted they hate being described as a “queer pop band”.
She said: “Jo and I initially didn’t want to be labelled as a queer pop band.
“Even though yes, ultimately, we’re very gay. I mean, look at us.”
Katie interjected: “I remember you both being concerned about people not paying attention to the music.”
Naomi continued: “Yeah, I wanted us to be taken seriously. Even now sometimes the headline about us is just like ‘Queer pop band’… we get hit up in June for Pride a lot.”

Bruce Springsteen and E Street Band call off shows due to illness

OHMYGOSSIP — Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band have called off three shows due to illness.
The Boss and his group are currently playing the US leg of a world tour which is due to head to countries including the UK, Spain and Germany later this year but the American dates have been plagued by a string of postponements which started with the March 9 concert at the Nationwide Arena in Columbus, Ohio and was followed by the March 12 stop at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Connecticut.
Now they have also axed the March 14 date at the MVP Arena in Albany, New York, but a message to fans posted on Springsteen’s official Twitter page confirmed they are working on rescheduling the scrapped shows.
The post explained: “Due to illness, Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band’s concert at Mohegan Sun Arena on Sunday March 12 has been postponed. We are working on rescheduling the date so please hold on to your tickets as they will be valid for the rescheduled show.”
E Street Band guitarist Steven Van Zandt insisted there’s no need to worry because the postponements haven’t been caused by anything too serious. He tweeted: “No need to be anxious or afraid. Nothing serious. Just a temporary situation. We will all be back in full force very soon.”
When asked by a fan about the scrapped dates, Van Zandt insisted the concerts are just “postponed”, adding: “We don’t cancel.”
Springsteen and the E Street Band are next due back on stage on March 16 at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. They have 15 more US dates to play before heading to Europe over the summer and later returning to American shores in August for another batch of US dates including concerts in Chicago, Illinois and Springsteen’s native New Jersey.

OHMYGOSSIP — Madonna is set to add more dates to her global ‘Celebration Tour’.
The Queen of Pop is already set for a mammoth greatest hits jaunt across the US, Canada, Europe, and the UK to celebrate her 40th anniversary, and she’s just teased that more dates will be added soon.
Alongside a clip of the star strutting to The Queens’ remix of Beyonce’s ‘Break My Soul’, Madonna teased in the Instagram caption: “New tour dates being announced soon……… !!#madonnacelebrationtour.”
The ‘Material Girl’ hitmaker is putting “everything” into the show.
A source said recently: “Madonna is putting absolutely everything into this show and is laser-focused on making it a spectacle which the fans will adore. Every single detail is being thought over at length. It will be well worth the wait.”
And it’s said Madonna will even wear her famous cone bra at the shows.
The 64-year-old pop icon initially wore the Jean-Paul Gaultier-designed corset during her ‘Blonde Ambition World Tour’ in 1990, and she’s reportedly set to revive the famous look along with various other costumes from her four-decade career as part of ‘The Celebration Tour’, which is due to kick off on July 15 in Vancouver, Canada.
The source added: “Madonna will be reflecting on her entire career in the tour and that won’t just be the music – it will be the clothes too. She wants to wear updated versions of her most recognisable outfits and the cone bra is at the top of the list. She has been a trailblazer with her fashion and is getting a lot of her designer friends involved in helping her.”

Ed Sheeran will release first Subtract single later this month

OHMYGOSSIP — Ed Sheeran will release his new single ‘Eyes Closed’ later this month.
The ‘Bad Habits’ singer has announced the first track from his upcoming album ‘Subtract’ – the final LP in his decade-long mathematical series, which follows 2021’s ‘Equals’, 2017’s ‘Divide’, 2014’s ‘Multiply’ and 2011’s ‘Plus’ – and given fans a glimpse at the lyrics.
He wrote on Instagram: “Time is moving so slow and I don’t know what else that I can do.”
He added: “I’m dancing with my eyes closed, everywhere I look I still see you.”
The song is due to be released on March 24, with the album following on May 5.
Ed previously opened up about the album by sharing a diary entry from February 2022, in which he wrote about his spouse having to delay getting treatment for a tumour because she was pregnant with the couple’s daughter, Jupiter, who they secretly welcomed into the world in May 2022.
The star – who also has Lyra Antarctica, two, with childhood sweetheart Cherry – admitted writing the record acted as therapy for him through the extremely dark period in his life, which also saw his late friend Jamal Edwards pass away suddenly and his mental health spiral.
Ed also found himself having to fight for his “integrity and career as a songwriter” at court during a lengthy copyright trial over ‘Shape of You’.
In the candid statement, he said: “I had been working on ‘Subtract’ for a decade, trying to sculpt the perfect acoustic album, writing and recording hundreds of songs with a clear vision of what I thought it should be.
“Then at the start of 2022, a series of events changed my life, my mental health, and ultimately the way I viewed music and art.
“Writing songs is my therapy. It helps me make sense of my feelings. I wrote without thought of what the songs would be, I just wrote whatever tumbled out. And in just over a week, I replaced a decade’s worth of work with my deepest darkest thoughts.
“Within the space of a month, my pregnant wife got told she had a tumour, with no route to treatment until after the birth. My best friend Jamal, a brother to me, died suddenly and I found myself standing in court defending my integrity and career as a songwriter. I was spiralling through fear, depression and anxiety.”

Robbie Williams’ electronic group Lufthaus ‘to release debut album’

OHMYGOSSIP — Robbie Williams’ electronic group Lufthaus are set to release their debut album.
The 49-year-old singer is in the dance band with Tim Metcalfe and Flynn Francis, and the trio are expected to drop an LP this autumn.
A source told The Sun newspaper’s Bizarre column: “The album will be out in the autumn. It is a momentous time for Robbie, Tim and Flynn.
“This is a real passion project for Rob and he has loved being able to create new music which is the polar opposite of his back catalogue.
“Lufthaus are ready to make their mark on the dance music industry and Robbie thinks the group can go far.”
Tim and Flynn have been opening up for Robbie as Lufthaus on his solo tour, and the group – who have already released songs ‘Sway’ and ‘Unlovable’ – are said to have gone down well with supporters.
The source added: “Tim and Robbie are performing as Lufthaus ahead of Robbie’s solo set on his tour and the reception has been incredible.”
In January, Robbie admitted he had “a vault” of new Lufthaus songs, but he wasn’t sure at the time if the band would drop an album.
He said at the time: “I have got two albums coming out pretty soon.
“I have a vault of new Lufthaus stuff. I could do three albums of it as Robbie Williams but new stuff gets written and you get excited about that. I want to put an album out before the summer
“I am not sure if there will be a Lufthaus album. We (Lufthaus) did Ibiza and everybody goes mad and the DJ said, ‘They love us mate.’ We are trying to figure out what live entity Lufthaus is.
“I would like to do a ‘Rudebox 2’ (as well) but I change with the wind.”

Jennifer Lopez confirms new album is out this summer

OHMYGOSSIP — Jennifer Lopez has announced her new album, ‘This Is Me … Now’, is coming out this summer.
The pop star and actress will release her first studio effort in almost a decade in a matter of months.
Speaking at Spotify’s Stream On event on Wednesday (08.03.23), the ‘Shotgun Wedding’ star spilled: “My upcoming album ‘This Is Me … Now’ is coming out this summer.
“Yes, you heard it here first. I’m super excited.”
Jennifer has recorded songs about her rekindled romance with Ben Affleck for her new LP.
The ‘Jenny From The Block’ star previously explained that ‘This Is Me … Now’ is a sequel to her 2002 album ‘This Is Me … Then’ – and she poured her love for the Hollywood actor into her music after they got back together.
Speaking to Zane Lowe on Apple Music 1 last year, she explained: “We captured me at this moment in time when I was reunited with the love of my life and we decided we were going to be together forever. The whole message of the album then is, ‘This love exists. This is a real love.’ Now I think what the message of the album is very much if you were wondering if you have, like me at times, lost hope, almost given up, don’t, because true love does exist and some things do last forever and that’s real.”
Jennifer was previously engaged to Ben but they split in 2004 before they could exchange vows before getting back together in 2021 and finally walking down the aisle last summer.
The singer admits it was tough showing her vulnerable side in her new songs, but she is glad she was open and honest.
Jennifer went on: “I want to put that message [of true love] out into the world and that does take a lot of vulnerability. But I couldn’t stop myself and some parts of it scare me. And I think parts of it scare Ben too. He’s like, ‘Oh, do you really want to say all this stuff?’ And I’m like, ‘I don’t know how else to do it, baby’.”
Her previous album ‘This Is Me … Then’ was about her previous relationship with Ben, and Jennifer admits he is a huge fan of the record.
She added: “He loves that album. He loves that music. He knows all of the words. You know what I mean? It’s crazy. He also was with me while I was creating it.”

Glen Matlock doubts there’ll be a hologram of late Sex Pistols bandmate Sid Vicious

OHMYGOSSIP — Glen Matlock admits the chances of the Sex Pistols creating a show with late band member Sid Vicious as a hologram are slim.
The legendary punk rock group’s bassist is seemingly not a fan of shows like ABBA’s avatar show ‘ABBA Voyage’ and much prefers the real thing.
He is quoted by the Daily Mirror newspaper as saying: “There’s nothing better than a band playing with passion, vim and vigour in front of a live audience – in tune, with a couple of beers inside them, or a coffee, going for it.”
He continued: “If they can dig up some 3D imagery of Sid at this stage, that would be an achievement in itself.”
Bassist Sid died of a heroin overdose aged 21 in 1979.
Meanwhile, David Bowie could be the focus of a new ABBA Voyage-style virtual reality show.
The ‘Starman’ singer died of cancer in 2016 aged 69 but fans could get the chance to experience his iconic showmanship once again as discussions are underway to create a digital avatar of the legendary performer, following in the footsteps of the ‘Super Trooper’ hitmakers, whose virtual likenesses have been performing in London since last May.
A source told the Sunday Mirror newspaper: “The idea of being able to recreate David’s charisma and electric showmanship for an audience is an intoxicating one, and the prospect of how that might be done is being explored. It’s a very exciting time.”
And Brett Morgen, who directed the 2022 Bowie film ‘Moonage Daydream’ thinks it would be a very “interesting” plan.
He said: “Voyage was one of the greatest cinematic experiences I have ever seen. Could there be a Bowie one? I think there may be some interesting things happening ahead.”
It was revealed earlier this week that Bowie’s 80,000-strong archive – including handwritten lyrics, letters, sheet music, original costumes, fashion, photography, film, music videos, set designs and the ‘Heroes’ singer’s own instruments – will go on display to the public for the very first time in 2025.
And the late pop icon will be immortalised through the creation of The David Bowie Centre for the Study of Performing Arts at V+A East Storehouse, in Stratford’s Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park.

Dua Lipa writing songs with Harry Styles and Adele’s songwriter

OHMYGOSSIP — Dua Lipa has been working with Harry Styles and Adele’s co-writer on her third album.
The ‘Don’t Start Now’ hitmaker has been in the studio with Tobias Jesso Jr, the Grammy-winning songwriter who co-wrote ‘Boyfriends’ on ‘Harry’s House’ and ‘When We Were Young’ and Target bonus track ‘Lay Me Down’ from Adele’s ’25’.
As quoted by the Daily Star newspaper’s Wired column, Dua has declared: “He will be writing songs with me for the rest of my career.”
Dua has also had studio wizard Mark Ronson working on her most personal tracks to date for the follow-up to 2020’s ‘Future Nostalgia’.
Tobias teased: “She’s just been blowing my mind.
“I mean, she would, mid-session, record an episode of her podcast. We’d take an hour break then she’d come back and we’d just continue with the song. I couldn’t believe the hustle.”
He added of his role: “Like a therapist, you’re trying to just get to the golden nuggets, even if they find them on their own.”
Dua joined Tobias, Mark, and the latter’s wife Grace Ronson at Madison Square Garden this week for the Hornets-Knicks game in New York City and shared a selfie to her Instagram Story.
Last month, it was reported that Dua is putting the finishing touches to her “really personal” record.
The 27-year-old singer is expected to be “a lot more revealing in her lyrics” and has written on every song on the album.
A music insider told The Sun newspaper’s Bizarre column: “Dua’s third album is really personal to her and she has been hands-on at every turn.
“She has spent hundreds of hours in the studio and has written on every song – that is really important to her.
“As one of the biggest names in pop music, all of the most talented writers and artists have been vying to work with her.
“Dua has been very clear about her direction in keeping it upbeat and fun, but she will be a lot more revealing in her lyrics.”
It’s not yet known exactly when Dua will drop her new album, but she is expected to release “at least some new music” before 2023 is out.
The insider added: “The label are really excited about it and are planning a lengthy campaign on a whole new scale to maximise the music, so its release date is up in the air – especially until it is completed.
“But the plan is for fans to hear at least some new music from the record by the end of the year.”
Dua also admitted she was worried her third album could leak online.
The ‘Levitating’ singer’s record company bosses are desperately trying to ensure recordings for the highly-anticipated LP are secure after a song she worked on with Pharrell Williams appeared recently, with the offcut from her second studio album ‘Future Nostalgia’ the latest in a series of unreleased tracks from the pop star to have made it into the public domain.
A source said at the time: “Over the past month or so countless demos and rejected songs from Dua have been appearing online.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Train fanatic Roger Daltrey is set to play his dream gig at a transport festival.
The Who frontman – who has his own model railway at his Essex pad – allegedly agreed to headline the National Transport Trust Festival in May at Fawley Hill country estate in Buckinghamshire, South East England, if he could channel his inner train driver and man a locomotive.
A source told The Sun newspaper: “Roger is a massive model railways fan. When he heard they were looking for a headliner for their vintage transport rally, he offered up the band’s services — but with a special request.
“So he’ll be behind the wheel of the steam train at some point over the weekend which really will be a dream come true.”
The estate is the home of Lady McAlpine and the late construction mogul Sir William McAlpine and boasts a Victorian railway station and museum.
The ‘Baba O’Riley’ rocker will perform in aid of the Teenage Cancer Trust charity.
The Who also just announced a one-off performance with the Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra at the Royal Sandringham Estate in Norfolk.
The ‘Pinball Wizard’ hitmakers – Roger, 79, and Pete Townshend, 77 – and their band will play in the grounds of the royal residence for the final date of their ‘The Who with Orchestra’ 2023 UK tour on August 28.
Former Verve frontman Richard Ashcroft and rockers The Lightning Seeds will support the legendary rock band.
Fans can expect to hear songs from The Who’s iconic albums ‘Tommy’ and ‘Quadrophenia’, alongside fan-favourites and songs from their 2019 album ‘WHO’.
Guitar hero Pete commented: “Very pleased and excited for The Who to be one of the first artists to perform at the Country Home of the British Royal family on The Sandringham Estate.
Opening up the Estate to large-scale concerts is a fantastic way of keeping us uplifted and enjoying congregation at what I’m sure will be a fabulous summer celebration. We can’t wait!”
What’s more, the band’s 2023 UK tour – their first in six years – will kick off on July 6 in Hull.

Lizzo helps couple get engaged at Glasgow show

OHMYGOSSIP — Lizzo helped a couple get engaged at her Glasgow show.
The ‘Special’ hitmaker sold-out the city’s OVO Hydro arena on Wednesday night (08.03.23), and was more than happy to halt her show to help her fans get engaged.
The Grammy winner spotted a gig-goer holding their phone up with the following message on the screen: “Ask my brother’s boyfriend to marry him.”
Lizzo then put the microphone in front of the man and he said: “Will you marry me?”
Amid cheers from the crowd, he added: “For the love of god, just say yes.”
Prompting the ‘Truth Hurts’ singer to ask: “What do you say?”
The boyfriend responded: “Yes.”
And Lizzo screamed: “Can we get a f****** yes.”
The likes of Adele and Harry Styles have also helped fans with proposals at their concerts.
A few weeks ago, Harry paused a show in Melbourne, Australia to help a man propose to his girlfriend.
The former One Direction star played at the city’s Marvel Stadium in February, but halted the show after he spotted Stevan Filiposki and Connie Morrison holding up a sign which read: “Make my boyf propose (sic).”
Harry then said: “I feel like I need to ask Stevan how he feels about this. How do you feel, Stevan?” before turning to his crew and asking: “Do we have a microphone for Stevan?
After being handed the microphone, Steven then said: “I just want to say how good Harry Styles is … he’s a lovely, lovely man but there’s somebody I love more.”
He then turned to his girlfriend and asked: “Will you marry me?”, before popping an engagement ring on her finger and giving her a kiss. Harry then dedicated his song ‘Cinema’ to the happy couple.
The pair later appeared on the Australian TV show ‘Sunrise’ to talk about the happy moment, with Connie admitting she didn’t think the singer would spot their sign.
She explained: “I thought he would bypass it. It was so small compared to the signs around it.”
Stevan went on to say: “He’s [Harry is] such an entertainer and when he walked past me he gave me a wink and a nod and said: ‘Are you serious? You want to go ahead?’ and I said, ‘Yes’. It was definitely in the moment.”
Connie then added: “It was a beautiful moment, I was always like [to Stevan], ‘Don’t propose to me in public,’ but now I wouldn’t have it any other way.”

Niall Horan praises ‘unbelievably gifted’ Raye

OHMYGOSSIP — Niall Horan thinks Raye is “unbelievably gifted”.
The ‘Heaven’ singer thinks the UK is “very lucky” to have so many strong female artists making their presence known in the charts and hopes to see artists such as the ‘Escapsim.’ hitmaker go global this year.
Asked who he’s listening to at the moment, he told the Official Charts Company: “I can’t say up-and-coming because we’ve known about her for a long time, but I keep hearing Escapism. on the radio in the States and being asked about Raye.
“She’s unbelievably gifted, it’s mad to see what’s happened with her career. She was born to do it. Outside of her writing, she’s finally having her moment that she’s been waiting for for a long time. I’m buzzing for her!
“I’m also excited to see what happens with Holly Humberstone over the next couple of years globally; I think that could be really cool.
“There’s so much good s*** going on, especially in the UK. You just want to see a lot of these artists – like Griff – go global. We’re very lucky, it’s amazing how gifted everybody is these days.”
Niall shot to fame when he was put into One Direction on ‘The X Factor’ in 2010 and he’s been using his experiences on the talent show in his new role as a coach on ‘The Voice’ in the US.
He said: “I didn’t think my experience would make that much of a difference, to be honest, but the longer I spend on the show and having shot a lot of it already I can see ‘The X Factor’ in me come out. The way I deal with the artists, the way I make my decisions.
“I’m thinking about it as if it was me on stage, which makes decision time really hard. I have empathy, coming from a show like that and being that young. It’s so hard. But it’s good fun, I’ve really enjoyed it.”
