Speaking of Flawless Roberts...

Here are some Nicola Roberts snippets. If you press play below you will hear about 30 secs ('secs', not 'sex') of her up-and-coming debut solo single and its b-side, "Porcelain Heart". Never let it be said that we are not informative, even if we have to beat around several bushels to get there.

This is all very exciting, and we're sure that in their full capacity they will blow our socks off. What is intriguing, though, is that Diplo, who produced "Beat of My Drum", seems to have sampled his own Major Lazer song, "Pon de Replay" here, too, as WELL as on Beyoncé's current flop underperforming lead single, "Run The World (Girls)" which he also produced. What is he playing at? Is it a joke? Is he just getting lazy? Is it for a writing credit? We do not understand.

"Porcelain Heart" sounds good too. Sad and midtempo, two things that go very well together in the world of sophisticated synth-orientated pop. It sounds a bit too good to be a b-side, actually, so perhaps it will be on the album, too. Perhaps it won't, and in actual fact, all the stuff on the album is so amazing that "Porcelain Heart" seemed a bit rubbish in comparison and so was 'canned'. Either way, amazingness abounds.
