Katy Perry cheats on Russell Brand



Welcome to RasMedo! Music's weekly round-up of the latest and best new music - five songs you'll be hearing a lot more of over the coming days. Check out our suggestions in tracks, downloads, leaks and links below and let us know if you think they're going to fly or die.

Katy Perry 'Teenage Dream'


Judging by the saucy video to the title song from her new album, it looks like Katy Perry is trying to get her revenge in early on fiancĂ© Russell Brand. The famously randy comic has promised to remain faithful to the US star. Let's just hope he doesn't get fact and fiction confused after he's seen her romping (in a car, motel room, underwater) with a moody hunk in the follow-up to ‘California Gurls'. (Watch it here)

Eminem 'Love The Way You Lie'


The second single from Eminem's new album, ‘Recovery', may already be a worldwide smash but that's not where the story ends. Because the video was issued this week and has become an online sensation. It clocked up an astounding 6.6 million hits in one day and broke all previous YouTube records. With an all-star cast including Rihanna and Megan Fox plus a burning house, you can see why.

Sophie Ellis-Bextor ‘Not Giving Up'


Confusion surrounds Sophie Ellis-Bextor's future. New album ‘Straight To The Heart' has been delayed more times than she and that bloke out of The Feeling have had hot dinners, amid rumours the record will never see the light of day. Now there is this, the hands-in-the-air upcoming single, ‘Not Giving Up', featuring trance DJ Armin van Buuren, which sounds like the party is far from over. (Hear it here)

Scissor Sisters ‘Any Which Way'


For a band named after a sex act, the title of the latest single from third studio album ‘Night Work' doesn't leave too much to the imagination. Some doubt whether the New York act have ever really matched the hype and anticipation that followed their breakthrough. Well, clearly no expense has been spared on the video to ‘Any Which Way', which is a technicolour feast for the eyes. (Watch it here)

Mirrors ‘Ways To An End'


Like fellow hotly-tipped newcomers Hurts, Mirrors present a monochrome, smartly tailoured outlook that will serve them well. Equally, they have a way with pop music to suggest the ‘80s renaissance won't be ending any time soon. Often compared to the likes of Kraftwerk, New Order and Depeche Mode, it is OMD that the Brighton four-piece most resemble. Upcoming support dates with their electro forefathers will surely only see their star rise further, as will ‘Ways To An End'. (Hear it here)
