Right guys we're off to prepare for the big match.

No, this wasn't a case of mistaken identity.

He mixed them up deliberately in the Live Lounge a wee while ago for your entertainment.

We're calling it Blue Kiss, as One Lights doesn't really work.

Either way it's job done for James, who is now turning his attention to tonight's England v Colombia game.

He thinks it's coming home...

Among those to pay tribute on social media were Sheffield band Reverend and the Makers who said: "Sheffield has lost a good un".

Quite literally we mean.

The London band are so passionate about limiting their environmental impact that they've dedicated the new music video for their track, We're Dead, to looking at our relationship with plastic, recycling, and waste in general.

Not only is it eco-friendly but it's also a pretty cool video too - directed by film maker Samuel Lewis - and you can check it out above.

Bassist Sam Bailey said: "Being passionate about film-making and music videos, we really wanted to make something that would be active whilst we have platform and people's ears 'n' eyes.

"A song like We're Dead, which deals with the slow deterioration of our wellbeing, needs a call to arms."

He added: "This is our attempt to raise awareness and join campaigners who we admire for their ceaseless work in trying to slow down our circling of the cosmic drain."

It's hard enough for UK bands traipsing around the country all summer on the festival circuit but for Madrid-based indie rockers Hinds, it's a little more complicated.

They performed alongside Queens of the Stone, Iggy Pop, Run the Jewels and Miles Kane on Saturday afternoon, in London's Finsbury Park, which meant getting up at 4.30am for an early flight from the Spanish capital to the UK.

Luckily Ade, Amber, Ana and Carlotta are used to it by now.

Bass player Ade's mum and dad took a trip to sunny England to see them perform last weekend (and sensibly sat under a tree in the shade).

Now singer/guitarist Carlotta is going one better. She revealed to MNL that the band have another special VIP joining them at Latitude next week but this time to experience the full 'la vida loca' as the new fifth member of the band - her own mum.

"She's gonna definitely have the full experience of feeling very very tired and in an English festival", said Carlotta.

"She's tougher than me, definitely"

Aeris Roves could just be the coolest name you've ever heard.

Think of it: "Aeris Roves, attorney at law... Aeris Roves, detective... heavyweight champion of the world, Aeeeeeeeris Roves!!"

Sadly, it's only a stage name but Kyle Miller, the artist who bears the name is starting to make a real name for himself with his equally cool take on UK R&B.

There are shades of Frank Ocean, The Weekend and Drake in his tracks Best Dressed Man and Feel Me, produced by Years & Years and Rag'N'Bone Man collaborator Two Inch Punch.

But he says his inspirations reach back farther than that.

"It's kind of soul infused, I take elements of hip hop, I take elements of soul and R&B and I try and put my own spin on it.

"But I like a lot of the old soul guys like The Drifters and Motown, they were a big influence on me growing up.

He references Drake's label pals Majid Jordan, external too.

Aeris was also handpicked to support US teenage pop princess Billie Eilish on her European tour and made his Great Escape debut earlier this summer, where he was stunned to find people singing his songs back at him.

"II always knew I wanted to do this, though you don't expect people to sing along, because you never know how your music is going to sit but you expect to push yourself and to keep developing.

Originally from Yorkshire but now based in London, Roves says that while he did not grow up in a particularly musical household ("nobody in my family is musical they listen to music for pleasure but passively"), he knew from early on that he wanted "to be that guy who was making music".

He performed in choirs (one school production even taking him to the O2) from a young age but it wasnt until he picked up his old man's battered guitar that he began writing.

"I love to watch other people perform because I respect anyone that take a leap and says 'I'm going to be a musician, I'm going to be artist and try an communicate my story through music'.

"I was like, i want to do that too so that's why I started writing music."

Opening for Eilish has provided Roves with his best gig so far (in Amsterdam, if you're interested) but he says he has yet to experience a horror show.

"I try and adapt if a show's not going well and make sure there's enough in my locker to sway it in my favour. Or the crowd's favour because sometimes my vision is not what the gig needs so I try and go with the crowd."

His fledgling relationship with Two Inch Punch, aka producer Ben Ash, has already born fruit with Ash describing Roves as, external "absolutely everything we've needed".

But the artist says he has also made sure he is able to record at a moment's notice with a set-up in his home.

"I've spent a lot of time learning how to record, how to engineer and to produce and I still am learning aspects of songwriting."

Away from the mic, his passion include football, movies and gaming, "anything that's creative or gives me space".

"I cycle a lot," he adds. "A lot of my music comes from what I think about when I'm cycling, that's my space to reflect."

And the name?

"Aeris, I think is Latin and Roves means to travel and I love to travel and experience different people and cultures, I use music as an escape."

The London singer/songwriter has been opening up about his struggles with depression and anxiety and how he suffered with "suicidal thoughts" early on in his touring career.

Blake was speaking as a guest on a Performing Arts Medicine Association panel - called You Got This: Managing the Suicide Crisis in the Arts Population - in California at the weekend.

According to Billboard, external, he spoke candidly about mental health and encouraged other artists to reach out.

“I was taken away from normal life essentially at an age where I was half-formed," he said of the period around the release of his self-titled 2011 debut album.

The 29-year-old added: “Your connection to other people becomes surface level.

He added: "I would say that chemical imbalance due to diet and the deterioration of my health was a huge, huge factor in my depression and eventual suicidal thoughts.

"I developed [dietary] intolerances that would lead to existential depression on a daily basis. I would eat a certain thing and then all day I would feel like there was just no point."

The Nine Inch Nails founder and his fellow band member and composer are teaming up again on a new score for Waves, by director Edward Shults.

It follows his apocalyptic horror film, It Comes at Night and is described by Variety as a "dramatic musical ... an energetic, affecting anthem of contemporary teenage life".

It will be almost entirely synchronised to music, composed largely by Ross and Reznor - who won an Oscar in 2011 for their work on The Social Network.

NIN recently released their latest album Bad Witch and told 6 Music's Lauren Laverne all about it.

The LA singer-songwriter has pulled out of a forthcoming performance at the Montreal Jazz Festival in Canada in protest at another show on the bill which features white performers singing African-American slave songs.

Directed by Robert Lepage and featuring singer Betti Bonifassi (both white), SLAV, described by the festival as “a theatrical odyssey based on slave songs”, has been subject to protests, with one black protester claiming to have been slapped in the face, external by a white theatregoer.

Now, in a statement on Twitter, Moses said: "When I learned that the festival continued to defend this show publicly... I knew that I could not present my music at this same festival in good conscience.

The festival have not commented on his statement, simply stating that ticketholders will be refunded.

Last month, Scottish hip hop trio Young Fathers pulled out of a festival in Germany after the organisers challenged their support of a Palestinian-led organisation which calls for a cultural boycott of Israel.

Drake's new album Scorpion has only been out since Friday, but it's already made history.

The album broke streaming records on both Apple Music and Spotify, with more than 302m plays in a single day.

It seems everyone likes Drake right? Wrong.

Some Spotify users complained the streaming service put his photo on hundreds of playlists - including ones that didn't feature his music, such as "Best of British".

Subscribers who'd paid for premium, ad-free accounts said it amounted to advertising and demanded refunds.

One subscriber said he had been offered one month's free subscription as a result of his complaint.

Meanwhile, in a very modern move Drake has quietly tweaked the record since its release; with an updated version of the record appearing on streaming services on Monday.

Although most of the changes are minor, In My Feelings has gained new vocals from Lil Wayne, and Jay-Z's contribution to Talk Up has received a volume bump, after some fans complained he was mixed too quietly.

Power to the people.

He'll do anything for his fans - but singing? He won't do that anymore.

Oh no, he won't do that.

Mr Loaf is apparently going to hit the highway (like a battering ram) again but the singing will reportedly all be done by 2014 American Idol winner Caleb Johnson.

According to The Sun, external, the 70-year-old's involvement will be telling rock 'n' roll stories about meeting co-songwriter Jim Steinman while his younger pal belts out their hits like Bat Out of Hell.

So you'll get to see Meat and hear some anecdotes but no actual tunes from the man himself (Two out of Three Ain't Bad).

Last year, Meat and Jim were involved in the production of the Bat Out of Hell musical.

The U2 frontman and activist has warned international institutions like the United Nations, European Union and NATO are under threat and said nations worldwide must work together to keep them alive.

Speaking at an event on Monday to launch Ireland’s candidacy for a seat on the UN's Security Council in 2021-22, the singer said we are living in "troubled times" and confirmed: "You can count on Ireland to do its part in that work.”

As Billboard reports, external, Bono said of the UN: “I love that it exists, and I’ll tell you, I don’t take for granted that it exists, or that it will continue to exist because let’s be honest, we live in a time when institutions as vital to human progress as the United Nations are under attack.”

To sweeten the deal, the Irish government apparently invited ambassadors from the 192 other UN member nations to U2's gig at Madison Square Garden in New York on Sunday night, with Bono later joking it was; “unusual having a load of ambassadors jumping up and down at a rock and roll show.”

"At least you weren’t shouting at each other, so that was good," he added.

The singer had to be rescued during a gig in Poland at the beginning of the week, when a stage malfunction meant she was stranded on a raised platform and had to use a step ladder to get down.

Bey and hubby, Jay Z, were in Warsaw as part of the One The Run II tour.

Check out the action unfolding above.

He's been involved on some of the most famous songs in history so we suppose it's only right that Nile has been offered a new job representing songwriters.

Being pregnant is certainly not slowing the Queens rapper down.

If anything she's ramping up with the success of new single, I Like it.

The Latino collab with Bad Bunny and J Balvin has gone to the top of the US chart, making her the first female rapper ever to have two US number ones.

In October Cardi became the first female in 17 years - since Lauryn Hill - to score a top-selling single Stateside with her debut Bodak Yellow (Money Moves).

To put that in context, that means during the two-decade period, the likes of Missy Elliott, Nicki Minaj, Lil Kim, Queen Latifah and Eve have never had a number one single but Cardi now has two.

She's also now the first female solo artist this decade, to have two number ones from a debut album and the first since Lady Gaga’s The Fame, in 2008.

The 25-year-old celebrated by posting a video of her twerking next to her bed on Instagram and also left a message of thanks to her fans on Twitter, saying: "Y'all made it happen.

"I'm so happy and so thankful.

All of this will come in handy now Cardi has to save up for diapers and college fees.

You can see lots of stylishly shot (yet revealing pics) of Cardi, including one of her licking hubby Offset from Migos' face, in their exclusive Rolling Stone cover shoot., external

Cardi revealed the pair got married last September in secret.

That's right folks - it's the day we've all be waiting for...

No, not the World Cup (or Wimbledon) - it's Drake digitally updating his new album day.

We'll have more that later plus:

• Cardi B sets ANOTHER chart record in the US
• Bono has made some stark warnings about the future
• James Blake talks about mental health issues
• Meat Loaf is set to tour... just minus the singing
• A Newbie Tuesday act mixing the new and old of soul music
