Florence + The Machine Go “Unplugged” for MTV

Florence + the Machine kick off MTV’s new season of “Unplugged” on April 9.

The soulful British singer and her backing band taped their “Unplugged” concert in New York’s oldest synagogue building back in December to become the first of eight episodes airing across MTV and sister networks Vh1 and CMT. The Civil Wars and Dierks Bentley also are slated to perform during the new season.

Backed by a 10-person choir, The Voices of Rivers, Welch performed fan favorites such as “Drumming Song” from her group’s 2009 debut “Lungs,” as well as the single “Never Let Me Go” from her most recent record, “Ceremonials.”

“I had to stop myself after every song,” Welch told Reuters. “I would be like, ‘Wow.’ It was so amazing performing the songs stripped back and just really being able to concentrate on the songs and the emotions,” said Welch.

Katy Perry Snags B.o.B. for Remix

Katy Perry has teamed up with B.o.B for a remix of her song “The One That Got Away” from her album Teenage Dream.

Perry’s label, Capitol, has submitted the track to radio, and it should be available for fans to buy by next week. Perry has achieved a record five #1 singles off the album to date. Michael Jackson is the only other artist to have done the same, with his Bad album. However, if “The One” goes to #1, Katy will become the first artist with six #1 Hot 100 singles off of one album.

This is not the first time Katy has remixed one of her singles. Earlier this year, she worked with Kanye West on “E.T.” (the duo won a VMA for Best Collaboration for the video) and later, Missy Elliott got onboard a remix of Perry’s single “Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.).”
