Pop Corner: teen-pop queen Kloe drops a sparse banger; Tom Odell is a sweet angel

Elsewhere, Nick Jonas and Demi Lovato are best friends forever, while Matty 1975 and Usher definitely aren’t

Edgy look, audible accent: teen-pop sensation Kloe

TRACK OF THE WEEK
Kloe - UDSM
Scottish teen-pop sensation Kloe ticks all our boxes: edgy look, audible accent, and sings about actually being a teenager. It's this teen element that explains the song title - UDSM = You Don't See Me. Melodically, it's what we like to call "a sparse banger" with a tropical house twist: think a younger Tove Lo. Oh and you should check out the video too.

Hero of the week is sweet angel Tom Odell. He's teamed up with charity Global Citizen to support girls who are prevented from going to school. He told the Evening Standard: "I feel like I can turn up to a TV show and can look like s**t and no one's going to comment on my appearance. In exactly the same scenario, I've seen girls turning up and their appearance will be commented on. I think that's unfair. Anything Global Citizen can do to change people's perception of that I think is very important."

In Best Friends news, Nick Jonas told philly.com about his close relationship with Demi Lovato. Nick explained: "Demi and I are only a month apart in age, and we were doing schoolwork together on set while filming. I think we connected pretty quickly. And then, over the years, not only was it a great friendship, but lots of differences in our personality actually helped us just be that much closer."

Zero of the week is Skrillex, Matty 1975 explains. At a festival a few years ago, Usher confused Matty for Skrillex, Matty told Pitchfork. "I was standing by the side of the stage and Usher - actual f*cking Usher - bounded over to me, like, 'Yo man, what's up?' And I'm like, 'Hello, mate. How you doing?' And then he made some weird excuse and left very quickly. As he was leaving, I realised he thought I was f*cking Skrillex, and it pissed me off so much. I haven't run into him since – but I'm definitely going to pretend to be Skrillex if I do." So there you have it.
