South Londoner Joy Crookes' brand of British R&B has drawn almost inevitable comparisons with Amy Winehouse and she shares the late singer's uncanny ability to weave lyrics about rebellion, heartbreak and empowerment into slinky jazz-inflected earworms.

Perfect for someone who admits to being "obsessed with Motown and Motown songwriters".

"For me, my songs that talk about sexuality, talk about female empowerment, talk about suffering... whatever...has come from personal experience," says the singer, who been backed by BBC Music Introducing.

"I have to be honest - my music is the only place I can be really honest and for some reason it resonates with people, and that's just a bonus.

"When I feel like I've got a song out that I needed to write for myself, it's the most rewarding feeling."

None more so than her track, May I Sleep With Danger and Power, which is already proving to be a hit during her festival shows.

You're a man on a mission / But you seem to forget / You came here through from a woman /Show some ******* respect

"I always close my set with Power," she says backstage at the Wilderness Festival in Oxfordshire.

"It's not an upbeat song, it's not lighthearted, if anything it's the complete opposite, it's about female empowerment.

"When you play live you get people excited and worked up and singing and dancing but when you close with that song, it's the one which makes people say, 'I want to see that girl again'.

"Not that this is a whole branding thing for me. I think it's really important to connect on a different level and at festivals you have to do it a different way."

If connecting with audiences, particularly young girls, is what Joy is aiming to do, it won't be long before she is being cited as a role model for young women.,

It's something to which Joy aspires but notes that at 19, she is still very young herself.

"I'd love to be that. It's a very big responsibility...for girls my age with stuff like social media, the thing I promote is just being yourself and not having to live for anyone but yourself and being happy that way, saying what you want to say and not isolating anyone."

As for her own inspirations, Joy credits seeing Adele's performance at the Brit awards in 2011 with helping her decide to be a singer.

"How incredibly honest she was and even at age 11 or 12 and not having gone through any heartbreak she made it easy to understand."

She also lists iconic singers like Nina Simone, Billie Holliday and Sarah Vaughan.

"The freedom that these women, at such a scary time, with their voices, with what they could say and how they could say it, every single performance Nina does she does something different."

Joy released her debut EP Influence at the tail end of 2017 and supported singer Jacobs Banks on his UK tour.

She says she hopes to have another EP ready by the end of 2018 but only when she is 100% happy with the material.

"I set myself a standard and need to make sure its step above," she says adding that she'd "like to have a production credit".

"I've been working really hard at home learning to produce myself... I'm a lot more direct and self-assured since learning to produce."

NFL star Colin Kaepernick, who sparked a furore by kneeling during the US national anthem, has been unveiled as one of the faces in Nike's "Just Do It" 30th anniversary campaign, and US country star, John Rich, of the duo Big & Rich, has taken to Twitter to express his anger over the decision.

In 2016, Kaepernick refused to stand for the Star Spangled Banner anthem in protest at police violence against African-Americans, with other players following suit.

But the protest divided the country and sparked Donald Trump's anger, who called players who "disrespect" the US flag "sons of bitches". Kaepernick hasn't played in the NFL since last year as a result.

The new ad features a closeup of Kaepernick’s face, with the words, “Believe in something. Even if it means sacrificing everything.”

In his Nike-blasting tweets, Rich included a photo of Kaepernick’s “pig socks” - which depict cartoon porcine police officers - which he wore during San Francisco 49ers training camp in 2016.

In a subsequent tweet, Rich shared a photo of his soundman, a “former marine” who had “just cut the Nike swoosh off his socks.”

On the other hand, other famous names were taking to Twitter to praise the campaign.

CIA director John O'Brennan said:

In more (totally unrelated) rap news, teenage Soundcloud rapper Lil Pump's taken to Instagram with a NSFW update on life, and folks, he's off to prison for a couple of months.

At the end of August, the 18-year-old was arrested in Miami for driving without a driver's license, violating the conditions of his probation.

He explained to his fans...

However, Pump (or is it Lil?) isn't letting this detract from his musical ambitions, pointing out that some "crazy" music will be "dropping while I'm in there."

A week after Eminem dissed Machine Gun Kelly on his new album, Kamikaze, Kelly has fired back at his former idol with a diss track called Rap Devil.

A spin on Eminem's 2013 track Rap God, MGK goes in hard, slagging off everything from Eminem being "sober and bored" to his "weird beard."

Hit 'em where it hurts, Kelly!

MGK explained on Twitter (we've left the grammar as is):

Before the feud, MGK frequently cited Eminem as one of his greatest influences, but relations soured when Kelly tweeted that Eminem's daughter Hailie Jade was "hot".

Tyler, the Creator has dropped a new track, called Puff.

The chilled instrumental number is remixed from a track on his 2015 album, Cherry Bomb.

Have a listen to the sexy number below.

Puff follows several other one-off tracks uploaded by Tyler to his YouTube page, including Potato Salad with ASAP Rocky, Peach Fuzz and Crust in Their Eyes.

The punk frontwoman has tweeted that she is picking up "an old love" as she stars in her first film in almost ten years.

She's not joining the cast of the Avengers however (though thinking about it, that would be cool) but is instead starring in a drama made in her native France called Un amour impossible - An Impossible Love - which is showing at the London Film Festival.

She previously played the lead role in a 2005 mystery À travers la forêt (Through the forest) and a 2009 horror film Sodium Babies.

It's been to years since we had any new material from Savages but she has worked with artists like Gorillaz and Primal Scream.

The Foo Fighters have been forced to reschedule two dates on the Canadian leg of their tour because Dave has strained his voice.

Which, if you have ever been to see the Foo Fighters, is not a massive surprise.

The band said on their Facebook page: "After opening this leg of the tour September 1 at Safeco Field in Seattle, Dave Grohl suffered a loss of voice and is now on vocal rest."

The frontman-cum-funnyman added: “That’s the last time I ever make out with Bono,” referencing the U2 singer's recent throat troubles.

The two shows rescheduled - just in case any of you have a Canada trip planned - are tonight in Edmonton and 6 September in Calgary.

The new Edmonton date is 22 October and the new Calgary date is 23 October.

It's been one helluva year so far for K-pop sensation, BTS.

We told you last week about their record-breaking video for new song, Idol, and overtaking Harry Styles with the most Twitter engagements in a day.

Now, they've topped the USA's Billboard 200 album chart with their new album Love Yourself: Answer.

Even South Korea's President is getting in on the action, taking to Twitter to congratulate the boys on their success.

The President's tweet included two hashtags which translate as ‘Eolssu it’s great’ and ‘Hooray it’s great’ – two lyrics from the group’s hit, Idol (which you can watch below).

The new album is the third in the band's Love Yourself trilogy. Love Yourself: Tear also topped the Billboard album charts, back in June - the first K-Pop band to do so.

Aretha Franklin's nephew has said the family found an Atlanta pastor's eulogy delivered at the Queen of Soul's funeral on Friday to be offensive and distasteful.

Reverend Jasper Williams Jr. was criticised on social media for his 50-minute address, describing children being in a home without a father as "abortion after birth".

He also said black lives do not matter unless blacks stop killing each other, prompting Stevie Wonder - there to perform - to yell out, "Black lives matter!"

"We found the comments to be offensive and distasteful," said Vaughn Franklin (pictured below far-right), who said his aunt never requested Williams to deliver a eulogy.

"At no time did he properly eulogise her."

Rev Williams was invited as he had spoken at other family memorials in the past including the funeral for Aretha's father, C.L. Franklin.

Since the ceremony, Williams hasn't backed down from his comments - which suggested a black woman cannot raise a black boy to be a man - saying he respected the family's opinion.

"I understand it, regret it. But I'm sorry they feel that way."

Some people suggested his speech was disrespectful of Aretha, a single mother of four boys.

Okurrr! Cardi B's shared the first pic of her new baby girl, Kulture.

Posting a sweet snap of her daughter's hands, she captioned it, "I needed a girl like you."
