JADE FOR TINY DESK ARE YOU KIDDING ME

🚨 Ariana Grande announces eighth album ‘petal.’ Out July 31st.

🔊 JADE’s boyfriend (Rizzle Kicks’s Jordan Stephens) defends Harry Styles’s BRITs performance, pushing back at claims that Harry lacks authenticity with the genres he’s exploring:

“This is proximity bias, I promise you. [People are] unable to detach themselves from the memory of a young Harry Styles. If Harry had mystery… he doesn't have that in the UK. I live through the same issue with people. He has lived a life that you don't know about.

He didn't even do anything [in the public eye] for an entire year. He wasn't even around. You don't know what he did; you’ve got no idea where he was.

If no one knew who Harry Styles was and that was the first performance [they saw], why are you questioning whether or not he went to a fucking club? Just listen to the song.

Do you know why I loved Harry's performance? I loved Harry’s performance because – and I mean this – when I was away in Canada, I saw JADE perform twice… and I genuinely, in my heart of hearts, don't think there's a better all-round [pop] performer than JADE in the UK. And I'm not even trying to say this as some lovey-dovey bullshit, I swear to fuck I'm not. I mean this as objectively as possible.

Not everyone's going to love pop. But Jade does full choreo, full live vocal, she does full stage design… The amount she puts into a live show, you have to – l have to – respect it. I have to go, ‘Whoa, that is incredible.’

When I look at men who are pop-adjacent, it is fucking barren. Just seeing a solo male artist on stage doing any kind of dance routine – while singing, with a dope set, with a choir, and he's doing these little moves… I want that. I need pop-adjacent artists to get it.

For me, my journey with music or movement has developed throughout my life. And actually, oddly, my relationship to techno or club or that kind of rhythm – that energy has come out in me since becoming sober. Since I stopped drinking, I actually want to engage with that club culture more, because the music brings me a sense of escape.
And I see that in Harry. My point is, I can understand why a person can be taken into a place of connection to that style of music without trying to *be* anything.

Dancing isn't owned by anybody. If anyone wants to dance, they can dance.”

Footage shared with ITV News has revealed “warzone” corridor care at an NHS hospital.

The videos filmed this week at Queen’s Hospital in East London appear to show elderly and vulnerable patients left for days in cramped passageways instead of wards.
