• Hey, you know that big reunion of the classic Guns N Roses line-up? Yeah, it turned out that was just a re-issue. A newly remastered version of their 1987 album ‘Appetite For Destruction’ is available for pre-order now. Bag yourself a limited edition boxset for just £849.99! Here’s previously unreleased track, ‘Shadow Of Your Love’.

• Sia, Diplo and Labrinth have formed a new group, LSD. Irresponsible drug reference there. I’m not sure why they didn’t think to name themselves in homage to DSL internet technology instead. That’s something everyone can enjoy. Anyway, here’s a song, ‘Genius’.

• Rihanna’s spoken to Vogue for an in-depth new interview, in which she reveals, among other things, that she’s working on a reggae album.

• Florence And The Machine will release new album ‘High As Hope’ on 29 Jun. Here’s new single ‘Hunger’.

• Princess Nokia has released the video for ‘For The Night’, taken from her new mixtape, ‘A Girl Cried Red’.

• MØ has released a video for recent single, ‘Nostalgia’. “This video is special to me cos it shows a little piece of my story”, she says. “My room in my parents house where I grew up and wrote my first song, the streets where I used to bike around with my friends, the forest where I would walk around restless and dreamy, my old high school where I had my heart broken for the first time”.

• Your old pal Johnny Borrell has released a new solo track, ‘My World, Your Life’. “A lot of people who know a lot about music heard this track and told me it was amazing”, the famously modest musician tells the NME. “So I thought I’d better put it out”.

• Tirzah has announced that her debut album, ‘Devotion’, will be out on 10 Aug. From it, this is ‘Gladly’.
