Before Justin Bieber's "Journals," there was Ariana Grande's "Yours Truly."
It was Aug. 30, 2013, and Grande - who rose to fame on Nickelodeon's "Victorious" and "Sam & Cat" - suddenly emerged as a musical superstar with her debut album. Thanks to her dreamy voice and impressive range, the budding phenom, who was then 20 years old, proved she was so much more than just a teen star.
The album was a testament of how '90s R&b, hip-hop, pop, and doo-wop can complement one another. Paired with production by Babyface, The Rascals (Leon Thomas III and Khris Riddick-Tynes), Antonio Dixon, Harmony Samuels, Tommy Brown (aka TBHits), as well as cowriting credits from the aforementioned and Victoria Monét, Sevyn Streeter, Jordin Sparks, and Priscilla Renea (now Muni Long), "Yours Truly" was an instant victory. This dream team fused Grande's instinctual talent and musical theater background to formulate an untapped side of her artistry,...

Apparently, Nathan Sykes didn't make a lasting impression on Ariana Grande. Over the weekend, Grande released a new song titled "thank u, next," in which she referenced four of her famous exes. While Ricky Alvarez, Pete Davidson, Big Sean and the late Mac Miller were name-dropped, Sykes was left out. "That's good!" he laughed, after TMZ stopped him at Lax Wednesday for an impromptu interview. Although he somehow hasn't heard the chart-topping song, Sykes said, "I heard it's very good, though. I hear it's fantastic, so that's amazing." To be fair, Sykes probably wasn't at the top of Grande's mind. In August 2013, Grande was about to release her debut...

We got Nathan Sykes of The Wanted Wednesday at Lax, where we asked how he felt about not being named in Ari's song "thank u, next" ... which name-checks the likes of Big Sean, Ricky Alvarez, Mac Miller and, of course, Pete Davidson.

Maybe Nathan Sykes isn’t as “famous” as he was a few years back when he was running the world with The Wanted, but that doesn’t prevent his solo career from being even better than his past endeavor was. The English singer and songwriter is gearing up to release his first solo album, Unfinished Business, and just dropped the music video for his latest single, “Famous.”
The first thing that’s evident from new Sykes music is that it’s nothing like what he created with The Wanted. While his pop centric boy band tried to emulate the Backstreet Boys, Sykes is doing something new entirely with “Famous,” a mid-tempo track with a slight retro/doo-wop feel to it.
The video, directed by Ivanna Smyrnova, depicts Sykes in a love triangle between his co-star and director of the movie he’s acting in. The clip is actually kind of heartbreaking,...

Sykes is currently touring in the U.K. with girl group Little Mix, and has given his fans a peek at the song. "I've been performing an acoustic version on tour ... that has had a great reaction,...

Maddie Ziegler is not one to fall in line – and she's encouraging others to stand out as well.
In Capezio's latest video campaign #DanceInYou released on Tuesday, the 13-year-old Dance Moms' star joins a class of young ballerinas at the barre before breaking out into her own free-form number.
Ziegler – who is a regular in singer-songwriter Sia's music videos – refuses to conform to the typical pink ballet dress code by wearing a black and blue outfit from the dance apparel company.
While her moves are first met with odd stares, Ziegler eventually stirs up a total dance party from the whole class.

Congratulations! You made it through a terrible week. As an aural reward, here's "Over and Over Again," from Nathan Sykes, formerly of the Wanted, featuring Ariana Grande. (The two first sang together on Grande's "Almost Is Never Enough" from her 2013 debut album.) "Over and Over Again" trades high production values for a little spare piano music, artfully highlighting both their soaring voices and the nearly infinite number of echoes reverberating from the walls of the warehouse or abandoned airplane hangar or massive cavern where they must have recorded this song.

Nathan Sykes has admitted he's reduced to tears when he watches his former bandmate Jay McGuiness perform on 'Strictly Come Dancing' every week. The Wanter singer, 22, has revealed he finds himself sitting in front of the television with tears streaming down his face when he sees her friend take to the dance floor with his professional partner Aliona Vilani week-in and week-out. Speaking on the programme before Jay, 25, performed his passionate Paso, Nathan said: ''I'm like there sobbing every week, He's just doing so well. I'm just so proud of him.'' And Nathan wasn't the only one who liked...

Nathan Sykes has successfully gone solo. The 22-year-old English singer and former member of The Wanted (the band is currently on a break after splitting up over one-year ago) has released the debut single "Kiss Me Quick" from his forthcoming album —which will mark his first solo project since his exit from the popular boyband. He also kicked off his first solo tour earlier this month in Glasgow and performed eight shows in the U.K.—all of which were sold out. So, how is he feeling now that he has successfully launched his solo career? Pics: The Wanted's funniest quotes "We did say it was just going to be a break and I was like 'What...

Nathan Sykes is ready for his musical close-up. Just days after dropping "More Than You'll Ever Know," his first solo song since he and the rest of The Wanted went their separate ways, Sykes is releasing the tune's video tomorrow on Vevo. In the meantime, we have the exclusive footage from the making of the black-and-white production. And it's just a taste of what's to come on his debut solo album. In fact, he says his voice is better than ever despite having major throat surgery that threatened to end his singing career about two years ago. "It took me about eight or nine months to get back to where I was and since then my voice has improved so much," he told me...

It's been a year since British boy band The Wanted split - but one member says it's not necessarily forever. "We didn't break up. We're taking a break as a band," Nathan Sykes, 21, tells People. "We all just felt it was time to do our own things and then look in the future - with the amazing fan base that we had - to have something to come back to." Still, don't expect a reunion any time soon. "I think it just plans on what everyone is doing at the time," he says. As for his "own thing," Sykes is...

Nathan Sykes admits he has a thing for his fellow Brit singers. "Sam Smith at the Grammys was just insane," the former member of The Wanted told me the other day from his home in London, where he's working on his debut solo album. "I've listening to a lot of Sam Smith, Ed Sheeran and I'm living in hope for this Adele album. So, yes, I am quite biased toward the Brits." And if all goes well, Sykes says he and Smith may be making some music together. "We've spoken about going into the studio before and I think it's quite likely going to happen over the next year," he said. "It'll be insane. I think it'll be such a great opportunity to create something...
