Ellie Goulding WILL release Rihanna cover

Yay!

Ellie Goulding has confirmed she will release her beautiful cover of Rihanna’s Only Girl as a B-side to her new single Lights. Ellie is certainly proving her stripes when it comes to the fine art of banging out a good cover - see her cover of Your Song by Elton John for more details.
The singer first performed the track for Fearne Cotton on Radio One’s Live Lounge back in December and ever since then we have been frantically You Tubing to get another listen. Unlike with Your Song, this time we didn't have to watch the John Lewis ad on loop.

Lights is due to be released March 11th (which is tommorow, how convenient!) and Ellie is currently in the studio recording her second album, which she reckons has a ‘darker’ sound to her previous stuff. We can't wait to hear it!

But for now we are loving this version of Only Girl and almost prefer it to the original. Which one do you prefer?

Rihanna almost had a wardrobe malfunction

Singer Rihanna almost had a wardrobe malfunction at a recent charity dinner in New York. Her breasts just about stayed in place inside the deep, lacy neckline as she leaned over to greet some famous celebrity friends.

Rihanna had leaned in to say hello to David Bowie and his wife Iman, when the singer almost gave a little too much away, prompting fashion insiders to suggest that she should use sticky tape more often to protect her modesty.

The S&M singer looked stunning in a long black gown as she arrived at the gala held for leukemia awareness, but as she posed for photos, she almost gave the game away beneath the dress's plunging neckline, reports a newspaper. Rihanna was a guest of honour at the event where she was honoured for her dedication and fund-raising work in the fight against the disease.
