Track of the week: Good to Love by FKA Twigs
This beautiful, delicate track bears repeated listening. "Something's up," your ears think. And then it hits you: there are no beats. Somehow, a lack of a drumbeat gives this song even more heart – it's like holding your breath after you tell someone you like them, waiting for them to say they like you too.
Hero of the week: St Vincent, who has designed a guitar especially for women. "For me, a guitar that is not too heavy is really important because I'm not a very big person," she told Guitar World magazine. "I can't even play a Sixties Strat or Seventies Les Paul. I would need to travel with a chiropractor on tour in order to play those guitars.
“I was always finding when I was playing onstage and wearing various stage outfits, the guitar would cut across one of the best features of the female body, which is your waist. I carry my guitar pretty high so I had to make all of these costumes based on the fact that you wouldn’t be able to see if I had a waist or not.”
Gwen Stefani told Jimmy Kimmel that some good has come out of her divorce. “What’s so crazy is that sometimes tragedy, if you really absorb it, you can turn it into something beautiful. And this whole album is really about trying to take something awful and healing from it and turn it into something beautiful.”
Zero of the week: touring, which is "a lot of work," JLo told Jimmy Fallon. "Why did I put together this show that's so hard for myself? I was like, 'This is going to be sooooo good! We can do this, this, this and this!' And then at the end of the show I'm like . . . dead! And then I'm like, 'Oh my God – I have to do this again tomorrow?' This is crazy!"
