NERVO - We're All No One (feat. Afrojack & Steve Aoki)

Fresh, glossy synth-pop shooting in your direction via Nervo! In case you don't already know, Nervo consist of ace sister-act Aussie DJ duo Mim and Liv.

Their music sounds a bit like Kylie mixed with Ke$ha - light and fluffy hook-laden pop with just the right dash of bratty attitude. We like it a lot!

New single We're All No One makes for the perfect introduction to the duo - a club-ready banger if ever there was one, featuring the girls teaming up with hip dance producers Steve Aoki and Afrojack.

It's a potent mix and with a series of high profile releases lined up for next year and an appearance on US X Factor, odds are on these girls will be making it big in 2012.

We're All No One is released on the 13th February.

Cheryl Cole 'I miss my tea and English soaps'

Sometimes a video can speak a thousand words. And just watching this short interview with Cheryl as she steps out onto American soil for the first day of auditions on the US X Factor, you just fall in love with her all over again. Seriously the most adorable thing ever. For starters, she looks absolutely incredibly rocking a real 70s disco inspired look with big hair and bright colours to match the increased scale America operates in.

The American reporters seem just as enraptured with Cheryl as we are over here and her answers express that instant natural charisma and charm we've come to adore her so much for. True perfection - Cheryl really is fast on her way to becoming a global star.

Cher Lloyd to get 'In The Zone' with Britney Spears?

A spokesperson from Cher's record label has let on to some rather exciting goings on regarding the singer's debut album. Artists like Rihanna and Lady Gaga have been asked to participate in collaborations, but personally I'm most excited about Cher potentially turning her swag on with Britney Spears.

Reports in The Sun say rapper Busta Rhymes is already set to feature on one of the tracks already.

Cher's album is out on the 12th September and can already be pre-ordered from HMV.

Let's not forget that Cher covered Britney's epic ballad Everytime on the X Factor live shows last year...

Simon: "I thought Cheryl was bright, cute and ambitious"

In what might possibly be the most protracted period of waiting for confirmation ever, Simon's gone and as good as admitted that Cheryl will be a judge on US X Factor. Even better though, he's said some genuinely touching things about Cheryl, sharing his admiration for the girl we've all fallen in love with.

Speaking about the judging role in an interview with Deadline, he said: "I never think about it as an American or British audience. I genuinely don't. I think that's what's happened on a lot of these shows now is it's almost like you've got to hire well known celebrities to be a judge.

"And with Cheryl, when I hired her initially, I'd only met her literally once when I offered her the job on UK X Factor. I thought she was bright, cute, knew what she was talking about, ambitious..."

Awwww!

Simon continued: "And you meet someone special a few times in your life... and this girl is special. She's just got a great ability to communicate. She's a great judge. She's smart. It's just a hunch."

How adorable!

"If people take to her like the British public did, I think she's going to do really well in America. And Fox was desperate to hire her."

It's really moving to see Simon speak so candidly about Cheryl like this - on the UK live shows we often only got their feisty banter and Simon's usual hard-man act, so moments of open emotion like this are really sweet. He clearly believes a lot in her potential for winning over American audiences in the same way she did over here, and you know what, I think she's more than got it in her to do it. Exciting times indeed!
