	  <title><![CDATA[Madonna unveils mysterious 'Secret Project' trailer]]></title>
	  <description><![CDATA[<p>Madonna has teased fans with a promo clip for her new project with photographer&nbsp;Steven Klein.</p>
<p>The singer has been promoting the unknown collaboration on Instagram recently but little information has emerged about the 'Secret Project'.</p>
<p>A trailer has now been uploaded online that shows a tense looking eyeball twitching and looking around.</p>
<p>The dark clip comes in at almost a minute long but it fails to reveal any more details about the secretive project.</p>
<p>Madonna meanwhile previously uploaded a photo of herself behind bars, along with the caption:</p>
<p>"#secret&nbsp;project. I want to start a revolution! Are you with me?"</p>
<p>Klein has previously worked with the Queen of Pop on numerous tour visuals, as well as on the likes of <a href="/pg/newsdesk/rihanna" target="_blank">Rihanna</a>'s Armani jeans adverting campaign.</p>

<p align="center"><b>WINS</b></p>
<p align="center"><b>MTV BRAND NEW FOR 2013</b></p>
<p align="center"><b>PRESENTED BY EMPORIO ARMANI DIAMONDS</b></p>
<p align="center"><b>&nbsp;</b></p>
<p align="center">FIRST EVER UNSIGNED ARTIST TO WIN</p>
<p align="center">&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
<p>Friday, 1 February 2013: Following a month of public voting and three exclusive MTV Brand New for 2013 showcases presented by Emporio Armani Diamonds, MTV UK today announced British singer-songwriter Ebony Day as winner of MTV Brand New for 2013 - the first ever unsigned artist to win MTV&rsquo;s annual search for the best in new music&nbsp;</p>
<p>Since voting opened on 14th January, MTV Brand New for 2013 nominees have been running massive social media campaigns to encourage their fans to vote. <a href="http://brandnew.mtv.co.uk/">http://brandnew.mtv.co.uk</a>&nbsp;has been inundated with over 260,000 unique votes &ndash; a 75% increase versus 2012 - for the ten nominated artists. Ebony Day received a total of 40% of votes to take the ultimate crown, followed closely by Gabrielle Aplin in second place. &nbsp;K Koke, Kodaline and Rascals make up the top five.</p>
<p>As the MTV Brand New for 2013 winner, Ebony Day will receive ongoing priority support throughout 2013, as well as editorial and promotional support across&nbsp;MTV&rsquo;s network of UK channels and websites.</p>
<p>After uploading videos performing covers of popular songs and her own compositions, 19 year-old Ebony Day has racked up over 19 million video views and 150,000 subscribers on YouTube gaining a huge, dedicated global fan base.</p>
<p>&nbsp;"I'm so overwhelmed that my fans have made this win possible for me! It's all down to their ongoing support and hard work that I have won MTV's Brand New of 2013 and I can't thank them enough. This is a dream come true for me, I've never been happier." said Ebony Day</p>
<p>"Creating a campaign to match those from labels and signed artists seemed an impossible challenge, but the changing music industry is evident as the sheer support from Ebony's fans have allowed the unimaginable to become a reality. I truly couldn't be prouder of Ebony, her years of hard work are paying off, she deserves this." said Lucy Tallant&nbsp; (Manager, Ebony Day)</p>
<p>In November 2012, MTV shortlisted nine artists for MTV Brand New for 2013&nbsp;before adding Ebony, who won her place after a nationwide unsigned competition to fill the tenth and final nominee spot. Ebony is now MTV Brand New&rsquo;s first ever unsigned winner.</p>
<p>The ten nominated MTV Brand New for 2013 acts were:</p>
<p><b>Angel Haze</b></p>
<p><b>Disclosure</b></p>
<p><b>Ebony Day </b></p>
<p><b>Gabrielle Aplin</b></p>
<p><b>HAIM</b></p>
<p><b>K Koke</b></p>
<p><b>Kodaline</b></p>
<p><b>Little Nikki</b></p>
<p><b>Rascals</b></p>
<p><b>Tom Odell</b></p>
<p>Last week MTV Brand New hosted two exclusive live shows at Camden&rsquo;s Electric Ballroom and The Forum, Kentish Town which featured headline performances by 2012 MTV Brand New winner, Conor Maynard, and 2011 Brand New nominee, The Vaccines, alongside 2013 nominees Gabrielle Aplin, Little Nikki, Tom Odell and Kodaline.</p>
<p>MTV Brand New for 2013 will premiere on&nbsp;MTV Music&nbsp;on&nbsp;24th February&nbsp;at&nbsp;9pm with highlights from the Conor Maynard showcase.&nbsp; This will be followed by The Vaccines: Brand New Live at 9:30pm.</p>
<p>With one of the most successful track-records for a new music poll, over the last five years MTV Brand New has identified international stars such as Lady Gaga, Justin Bieber &amp;&nbsp;Ke$ha&nbsp;before debut releases whilst also picking up top British music talent&nbsp;Tinie Tempah,&nbsp;Adele,&nbsp;Florence + The Machine,&nbsp;Ellie Goulding,&nbsp;Jessie J,&nbsp;Friendly Fires,&nbsp;White Lies,&nbsp;Wretch 32,&nbsp;Labrinth&nbsp;- and&nbsp;last year&rsquo;s winner Conor Maynard - at the very start of their recording careers.</p>

<p>Angel Haze:</p>
<p>Angel Haze is without a doubt one of the most exciting figures in the rap scene after the release of her &lsquo;Reservation&rsquo; EP. Her visceral, emotive and even startling lyrics have earned Angel over a million views on Youtube and more than 500,000 downloads.&nbsp;With her track &lsquo;New York&rsquo; already being praised by the likes of BBC Radio 1 DJ&rsquo;s Zane Lowe and Annie Mac who made it their &lsquo;Next Hype&rsquo; and &lsquo;Big Thing&rsquo; records respectively, Angel Haze is destined for greatness in 2013.</p>
<p>Disclosure:</p>
<p>This highly exciting electronic duo's recent release, The Face EP (Greco-Roman), alongside their unforgettable remix of Jessie Ware&rsquo;s &lsquo;Running&rsquo; - received a rapturous&nbsp;reaction, with tracks Boiling, What&rsquo;s In Your Head and Control, dominating playlists (170 plays across Radio 1 and 1xtra on the EP alone)&nbsp;and dance floors throughout Europe, Australia and the US.</p>
<p>Following a year of highly acclaimed live performances across the globe and an ever-growing barrage of tastemaker support, Disclosure are one of the most talked about new dance acts around.</p>
<p>Ebony Day:</p>
<p>British Singer Ebony Day, born on 21st March 1993, lives in Guildford (UK). She is currently studying at the Academy of Contemporary Music. After spending the last year at her parent&rsquo;s home in Australia, Ebony is now back in the UK focusing on her music career.&nbsp;With big hopes and dreams for the future she is working hard at writing original music and developing herself as an artist.</p>
<p>At the age of just 19 Ebony Day has racked up over 19 million video views and 150,000 subscribers on YouTube. By covering a mix of her favourite songs, as well as compositions of her own, Ebony has grown a huge, dedicated fan base that spreads across the globe.</p>
<p>Ebony is now well on her way to success and hopes that she can inspire young people into following their dreams by showing that anything is possible with determination and hard work.</p>
<p>Gabrielle Aplin:</p>
<p>Gabrielle Aplin is the whipsmart teenage sensation with spirit in her voice and ability to bottle melodic lightning who, at 14, wrote her first song, Ghosts. At 17, she made it the title track of her first EP. At the same age, she set up her own label, Never Fade Records. Soon she had landed herself a booking agent and was plotting her own tours round the UK. By 18 she had released two further EPs and was running a profit making DIY artist&rsquo;s enterprise. At 19, Aplin decided she&rsquo;d learnt what she needed to learn under her own steam and was ready to take things to the next level. Her debut single for Parlophone Records - the hauntingly beautiful The Power Of Love - entered the chart at 5 and remains in the top 10 2 weeks later. She has a second single - Please Don't Say You Love Me - planned for February 2013, followed her debut album later in the Spring. Her videos currently have over 13.5 million youtube views, and she has just sold out her 6th UK tour, which ended at the Scala in London on November 22nd.</p>
<p>HAIM:</p>
<p>Hailing from Los Angeles California, sisters Este, Danielle and Alana Haim, have been creating waves of excitement throughout the UK music press since releasing their debut EP, &lsquo;Forever&rsquo; in February. Their unique mix of folk-rock and R&amp;B has seen them support the likes of Mumford &amp; Sons and Edward Shape and the Magnetic Shapes and the band are set to open for Florence and the Machine in their December&nbsp; 2013 UK tour.</p>
<p>With their debut album pencilled in for Spring 2013, next year looks like it is their&rsquo;s for the taking.</p>
<p>K Koke:</p>
<p>The first British rapper ever to be personally signed by the legendary Jay Z to Roc Nation, K Koke represents UK hip hop&rsquo;s coming of age and it&rsquo;s brightest hope. Growing up on the infamous Stonebridge Estate in Brent, North London, Koke achieved huge underground success releasing mixtapes and posting homemade videos on YouTube, attracting over 10 million views and widespread major label interest. Recently signing to Sony and collaborating with the likes of RIta Ora, Emeli Sand&eacute; and Maverick Sabre on his upcoming debut album, K Koke is a bonefide star in the making.</p>
<p>Kodaline:</p>
<p>Currently maintaining an air of understated mystery (their Facebook bio states, merely, &ldquo;we&rsquo;re four lads in a band&rdquo;), Kodaline are soon set to unveil themselves to the world with these first four tracks recorded with Steve Harris (producer for Dave Matthews band, mixer for U2).</p>
<p>Steve, Mark and drummer Vinny May &ndash;&nbsp;all aged 22 and 23 &ndash;&nbsp;have been working towards this moment for much of their young lives. Growing up in houses just two minutes away from each other in Swords, a working class town near Dublin airport.</p>
<p>Currently planning another EP, live dates and &ndash;&nbsp;further down the line &ndash;&nbsp;a debut album, Kodaline are creating waves of excitement throughout the industry and are destined for big things in 2013.</p>
<p>Little Nikki:</p>
<p>West London's very own Little Nikki, fresh from signing to Columbia records, brings her inimitable effervescent, gritty and unique brand of pop to 2013.&nbsp;&nbsp;Originally signed to Mercury Records aged only 13 as one&nbsp;third of girl act Soundgirl and after touring with Pixie Lott and Justin Bieber, Nikki went solo after the group disbanded.&nbsp;Combining a hypnotic blend of the rich diversity of musical genres London is proud to play host to (Grime, Bass, RnB, House, Hiphop, Pop, Dub and Reggae), Nikki's "ludicrous fusion of synthpop, bashment and hip hop" (Dazed and Confused) has been described as "Rihanna meet Azealia" (Popjustice). &nbsp;2012 has seen her support Rita Ora and Rizzle Kicks and at only 16 this is only the beginning for Little Nikki.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Rascals:</p>
<p>Hailing from Bow in East London, Rascals - made up of members Shizz, Tempz, Merkz and Kay Willz - have created a huge buzz this year with their tracks &lsquo;Ape Shit&rsquo; and &lsquo;What&rsquo;s Going Down&rsquo; winning strong tastemaker support from the likes of Mistajam (1Xtra),&nbsp;Huw Stephens, Zane Lowe and Fearne Cotton (Radio 1) plus fellow artists Wiley, Professor Green and Tinchy Stryder. With their &lsquo;The Launch Vol 2&rsquo; mixtape currently causing a big stir online and their selection for the MTV Brand New for 2013 shortlist, these mischievous rascals are set for a massive 2013.</p>
<p>Tom Odell:</p>
<p>Chichester-born maverick Tom Odell is a beguiling mixture of idealism (he wants the music to do the talking, preferably releasing one album a year) and belief (he seems to exist happily in his own musical world) which becomes somewhat incendiary when coupled with music so magnificently formed as that on his forthcoming debut album.</p>
<p>After being signed up by a management company, a publisher and, subsequently, a record label after only his forth gig, Tom&rsquo;s talent is destined to put this young singer-songwriter firmly on the map in 2013.</p>

<p>The singer appeared in an underwear advertising campaign recently for Armani, with the video advert showcasing a number of revealing shots of a semi-nude Rihanna.</p>

<p>"Ok @thesunnewspaper, this is the only way I could say this to you!!!  F**K YOU&hellip; Who is Jahnassa&hellip; Does she have a tat (tattoo) on her hand too?"</p>

	  <title><![CDATA[Rihanna is "creating the sound" of her next album]]></title>
	  <description><![CDATA[<p>Bajan sensation <a href="/pg/newsdesk/rihanna/">Rihanna</a> has revealed that she's making progress on her next studio album and is currently focusing on "creating the sound".</p>
<p>Speaking exclusively to Capital FM last night (March 29), the 'We Found Love' songstress explained that <a href="/pg/newsdesk/Rihanna/view/41043/">she needs to figure out the musical direction of the record</a> before the work really begins, but she has strong ideas and is excited about the project:</p>
<p>"I'm definitely thinking about the next record. I'm a multi-tasker so right now we're working on collecting and creating the sound first before we even start working on the lyrical direction or melodies."</p>
<p>"I kind of have an idea though, and it's very rough right now. So I'm eager to start that."</p>
<p>She also added that she will pay more attention to fashion before she releases a new studio album and teased:</p>
<p>"Before that we'll be getting into more fashion stuff and, I can't really talk about it, but my fans will be very happy, especially my British fans."&nbsp;</p>

	  <title><![CDATA[Rihanna admits she has had to "learn to accept" her body]]></title>
	  <description><![CDATA[<p><a href="/pg/newsdesk/Rihanna" target="_blank">Rihanna</a> has opened up on her body image, saying that she has had to learn to accept it.</p>
<p>Speaking on ITV's Daybreak, the global superstar confirmed that she is "comfortable" with what she is but suggested no-one can ever be truly confident in their image.</p>
<p>The Bajan beauty is of course well known for her revealing outfits and confident swagger - but her self-acceptance has been a gradual process. She said:</p>
<p>"I mean I don't think anybody really is 100%. I mean you get comfortable with the fact that that's your body and that is what it is - that I had to learn.&nbsp;After doing that on set, I started doing that in the mirror because it was like, 'OK, whatever, I feel fat today', but what can you really do about it? You have to just accept your body.&nbsp;You may not love it all the way, but you just have to be comfortable with it, comfortable with knowing that that's your body."</p>
<p>She added: "You just want something else that someone else has, but that doesn't mean what you have isn't beautiful, because people always want what you have, and you always want what they have.&nbsp;No-one is ever 100% like, 'Yes, I'm the bomb dot com - from head to toe!'"</p>
