Ailbhe Malone's new song goes 'Friday, Friday, gotta watchThe Late Late on Friday'

TRACK OF THE WEEK

Edge of Gloryby Lady Gaga (pictured). This new cut from Born This Wayfeatures a saxophone solo, synths and a strange way of pronouncing "you". It's also one of Gaga's best singles so far: no gimmicks, a killer hook and plenty to sing along with.

Taylor Swiftgave her tips on songwriting to US Weeklyrecently, saying "if you're writing songs and you're most passionate about telling stories about your life, and what you've been brought up to believe, then write about that. If you're most passionate about love, then write about that. Write about what you care about. Just because everyone's writing songs about parties and hanging out – if you're not passionate about it, don't write about it. You can edit out whatever you want to edit out." Edit things out? Does that mean we'll never hear a song about her disappointing Friday evening in?

N-DUBZ WATCH

Our hearts beat a little heavier as we heard that the Dubz are taking a break to pursue solo projects. Dappy said, “Tulisa is going to do her films and her fragrances. Fazer is going to produce half of my album, and I’m going inside the studio to write songs with Tulisa. I’ve got bangers for you – I’ve got a big solo album coming, three smash singles. By Christmas, hopefully, I’ll have two number ones. One of my first ones is called No Regrets. A year and a half or two years down the line and N-Dubz are going to be bigger than ever.” We’ll be wearing black until they return.

In whatcould be a sterling move, Katy Perry has expressed interest in remaking Mary Poppins– and taking the title role. Speaking to the Mirror, K.Pez said "I think I could play her if they remade it". She continued, "I can't deny that I used to grab an umbrella and think, 'I could take off with the right winds' as a kid."
