Pop Corner: The 1975 deliver The Sound to beat the January blues

Track of the Week
The Sound by The 1975
This is fizzy, giddy and joyful and exactly what we need this grim January week. Taking a left turn from indie, Matty 1975's sulky vocals are lifted by pulsing synths. The 1975's trademark conversational lyrics are still here, but when layered over electro-pop they become transcendental, climaxing in the chorus: "I know the sound of your heart." More of this please!

Hero of the Week is leftfield electronica, according to Ariana Grande. She told Jimmy Kimmel: "My all-time favourite artist is Imogen Heap. I love her, I'm obsessed with her. She's incredible, she's a genius and I've loved her forever. There was an email that came in that was like, 'Hey, Imogen heard that Ariana has a concert in the UK and would like to have her over for dinner'.

“And I was like, ‘Oh my god, this isn’t real!’. And I was on my way to her house and it was a really long, long drive and eventually I thought I was being Catfished. I thought it wasn’t going to happen. I was like, ‘She doesn’t want to have dinner with me, is this all a joke? I’m driving to my death right now, I’m going to be murdered’. And it ended up being her and it was a pleasant surprise!”

Meanwhile, Ashton 5SOS told Rolling Stone that the group had revamped their exercise regime. "People think we're f**king teenage pizza-eaters, man. We are really self-conscious about the way we look. We exercise a lot, we eat well."

Zero of the Week are drains, according to Perrie Little Mix. She told Maximum Pop: "I can't walk on three drains, I can't cross people on the stairs. This isn't a superstition, this is more of an OCD thing, but I can't have the volume on an odd number."
