Lola Young opens up on her sexuality with X-rated comment
Lola Young has opened up about her sexuality after she responded to a comment on her recent TikTok video. The Messy hitmaker, 24, who wowed fans with her performance at Radio 1's Big Weekend in Liverpool on Sunday, took to social media later that day and fans went wild for the post. Dancing and lip syncing to CMAT's track Take A Sexy Picture Of Me, viewers headed straight to the comments to share their love for the star. While one fan joked: 'no man deserves this' Lola unexpectedly replied as she confirmed she does not identify as straight writing: 'i like p***y as well u kno' [sic]. CMAT also loved the tribute to her song as she replied with a series of crying emojis and penned: 'i love u so much this is the best day of my life. ur so fit'. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the Daily Mail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. The lyrics of CMAT's new song go 'I did the butcher, I did the baker / I did the home and the family maker / I did schoolgirl fantasies / Oh, I did leg things and hand stuff / And single woman banter / Now tell me, what was in it for me?'. Lola, who is a Brit School alum, has soared to stardom this year after she went viral with her hit song Messy and was even nominated for two BRIT Awards. And earlier this month the star took to social media to promote her ADHD medicine, Concerta, because it makes her 'see mess now and clean things up'. Lola highlighted that there was an 'over glamorisation' of the hyperactivity disorder which has broken out among Gen Z with many 'jumping on the bandwagon'. But, she argued, the glorification of ADHD in recent years has also helped break down the stigma and made sure 'people are aware of what it's doing to your brain'. The Croydon-born pop singer said: 'Six months ago I started taking Concerta and it has genuinely changed my life, my thought processing and it's changed how I see mess and I can clear up, I feel genuinely a lot happier. 'My experience on Concerta has been incredible, and I would highly recommend it. I think it's super important to break down the stigma of taking medication for mental health because, right now, if you had a heart condition, you may take some. 'So we should make sure physical health and mental health are viewed on par.' CMAT also loved the tribute to her song as she replied with a series of crying emojis and penned: 'i love u so much this is the best day of my life. ur so fit' Lola also emphasised the importance of getting a diagnosis of ADHD can 'change your life'. She said: 'Getting a diagnosis can help you understand, but I would also recommend getting the medication I am on, which is Concerta.' Concerta is a drug that increases attention and decreases impulsiveness and hyperactivity in patients with ADHD. People taking the drug will feel a sense of euphoria, a higher energy level and better focus and concentration. It is estimated 230,000 people in the UK are taking the medication for ADHD. Lola revealed she wrote the hit single, Messy, in her bedroom and said: 'It's been speculated that it's about my parents. 'It's massively about some close family but it's a combination. 'It's more about myself, I am too messy. I've never held a broom in my life, everything in my life is a mess so it's a very fitting track.'

Life Listens: New music from Rose, Ariana Grande, Shazza and Benjamin Kheng
The Straits Times curates the most buzz-worthy music you need to know about that was released in the past month. PHOTOS: ROSES_ARE_ROSIE/INSTAGRAM, AFP, CROSS RATIO ENTERTAINMENT SINGAPORE – In this monthly column, The Straits Times curates the most buzz-worthy music you need to know about that was released in the past month. Stream This Song: Rose – Messy The latest single from Rose of K-pop girl group Blackpink is also her first contribution to a film soundtrack. Messy is the second single from F1: The Movie , the sports action drama starring Brad Pitt. It is set to open in Singapore cinemas on June 26. The minimally produced, electronic-tinged pop ballad has her taking a more restrained approach, with more crooning and less belting. Lyrically, it shares the same space as her previous solo single, Toxic Till The End. She also explores the darker side of complicated relationships in Messy, and how being in love can blind one to toxic traits. 'How bad could it really hurt?' she asks in the song. The South Korean-New Zealand singer is credited as a songwriter on the track, together with a team that includes Lostboy, the British songwriter-producer who won a Grammy for Best Pop Dance Recording for Australian diva Kylie Minogue's 2023 hit Padam Padam. Messy is also gaining traction among local listeners, and made its debut on Rias' Official Singapore Chart at No. 6 in mid-May. Must-see MV: Ariana Grande – Supernatural In the new music video for Supernatural, American singer-actress Ariana Grande walks through a burning, post-apocalyptic neighbourhood and get s abducted by aliens. It sounds like the plot of a B-grade science-fiction flick, but there are layers of hidden meanings behind the visuals. The UFO at the end, for example, is a symbol of the otherworldly love and loss of control she sings about on the track from her seventh album Eternal Sunshine (2024), while the destruction is a metaphor for the end of a doomed relationship. Directed by Grande and American music video director Christian Breslauer, the video first appeared as part of Brighter Days Ahead, the short film that accompanied Eternal Sunshine. It spawned a reissue, Eternal Sunshine Deluxe: Brighter Days Ahead, released in March.

PHOTO: ARIANAGRANDE/YOUTUBE In the Brighter Days Ahead film set 70 years after the events of her We Can't Be Friends (Wait For Your Love) MV, Grande plays Peaches, a character who has her memories of a past relationship wiped out. If that sounds familiar, it is because it was influenced by Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind, the 2004 sci-fi romance film starring Jim Carrey and Kate Winslet that inspired Grande's album title. Ace Album: Sleep Token – Even In Arcadia Even In Arcadia is the fourth album by enigmatic British band Sleep Token. PHOTO: RCA RECORDS In the last couple of years, Sleep Token went from viral sensations to chart-topping global music stars. Fronted by a singer and multi-instrumentalist who is known only as Vessel, the enigmatic, mask-wearing British band are known for widening the scope of metal music by incorporating pop, R&B and electronic, ambient soundscapes. Even In Arcadia, Sleep Token's fourth album, strays even further from their hard rock and metal roots. Vessel croons passionately in emotionally-laden verses before being engulfed in big, downtuned power chords and polyrhythmic drums.

PHOTO: ANDY FORD The cathartic screams are kept to a minimum, and he seems more intent on employing vibratos and falsettos in songs that tackle personal introspection and emotional vulnerability. Notably, in Caramel and Damocles, he sings about the burden of fame, and how a rising and increasingly demanding fan base paved the way to existential dread. Thanks to massive streaming numbers – Even In Arcadia registered the highest streaming week for a hard rock album – the release reached No. 1 on the Billboard album charts, a spot normally reserved for pop, hip-hop and country acts. Chart Champ: Morgan Wallen – I'm The Problem I'm The Problem is the fourth album by American country music singer Morgan Wallen. PHOTO: BIG LOUD American country singer Morgan Wallen's I'm The Problem went straight to No. 1 on the US Billboard album chart, its biggest debut so far in 2025. The new offering also scored the highest streaming week for any album released in 2025. His fourth album overall, it is his third to top this chart. A marathon of a listen, I'm The Problem runs a little under two hours, with 37 songs in total. American country music singer Morgan Wallen. PHOTO: DAVID LEHR As the title suggests, there is a distinctive shift to introspective songwriting throughout, a sign that the country star has embraced newfound maturity in his craft. It is a far cry from the carefree, pleasure-loving early works. Songs such as the title track and Kick Myself see Wallen tackle his imperfections, while Superman showcases a desire to be a better role model for his young son. Being one of contemporary country music's most successful artistes is sweet, but as he points out in tracks such as Falling Apart and Genesis, fame can come with a heavy emotional toll. Singapore Scene: Shazza and Benjamin Kheng – Olivia Dean Home-grown singer-songwriters Shazza and Benjamin Kheng collaborated for the first time on a pop song in Olivia Dean. PHOTO: CROSS RATIO ENTERTAINMENT Home-grown singer-songwriters Shazza and Benjamin Kheng collaborate for the first time on Olivia Dean, a sprightly pop track and a paean to first love. The pair mooted the team-up while they were both performers at the 2024 National Day Parade. The upbeat tune ha s an infectious melody and their voices blend harmoniously as they sing about the exhilarating rush of a new romance. Titled after English neo-soul singer-songwriter Olivia Dean, the song also features a catchy, choir-ready bridge as well as orchestral embellishments.

Rosé's New Single Misses The Mark As It Debuts
Rosé nearly managed to double up on the Hot 100 this week, but she just misses out on achieving that feat — a real rarity for K-pop solo stars – by just a few spaces. The Blackpink member and solo musician recently released a new single titled "Messy,' and while Rosé remains a global superstar, she couldn't quite transform the track into a hit in the United States. "Messy" suffers from a somewhat disappointing launch. The tune completely misses the Hot 100, Billboard's ranking of the most consumed songs in the United States. Typically, when a musician as popular as Rosé shares a new single, it's almost guaranteed to land on this tally, along with several others. Sadly, it seems "Messy" either didn't receive a full promotional push, or perhaps fans just weren't as interested in this track as they were in some of her earlier releases. This week, "Messy" debuts at No. 9 on the Bubbling Under Hot 100. That chart ranks the 25 most popular tunes in America that have yet to reach the main list. Rosé has now seen just two solo cuts land on the Bubbling Under Hot 100 and fail to crack the main Hot 100. In December 2024, her single "Number One Girl" missed the general ranking by just one space, peaking at No. 1 on the Bubbling Under list. "Messy" now represents a new low for her on that tally. The track also appears on both of Billboard's worldwide rankings. It starts at No. 25 on the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. and No. 34 on the Billboard Global 200. In both instances, Rosé collects her eleventh career hit on her own. "Messy" didn't sell well enough to appear on the Digital Song Sales chart, nor did it rack up enough plays on platforms like Spotify and Apple Music to land on the Streaming Songs list. It also appears to be missing from radio entirely, as it does not chart on any of Billboard's airplay rosters. Those three consumption metrics feed into where a tune lands on the Hot 100. It's not all bad news for Rosé, though. Her smash 'Apt.' with Bruno Mars is still a big win, even as it reaches a milestone 30 weeks on the Hot 100. This frame, the collaboration steps back just two spots, landing at No. 22. "Messy" serves as the second official single from the F1 soundtrack album, which will accompany the film set to arrive in late June. Rosé follows "Lose My Mind" by Don Toliver and Doja Cat. Since the release of "Messy," several other cuts from the project have been shared, including tunes by Myke Towers, Chris Stapleton, and Dom Dolla.
