Five talented young singers from Liverpool – up and coming band MiC LOWRY – have been invited to open the show for Justin Bieber on the European leg of his Purpose World Tour, starting this month.

For our readers can you tell us your three favourite tracks of the moment? And why?
3 favourite tracks –
Pink + white (frank ocean), because of the melodies and riff in the guitar and bass, also the cheeky lil Beyonce feature.
Glowed up (Kaytranada), the beat and bass line are wavy, plus Anderson Paak sounds sick on the track
Nakamarra (Hiatus Kaiyote), super chill vibe, boss for when you need to relax
Can you tell me what your top 3 favourite music videos of all time are? And comment about them?
Michael Jackson – Thriller: the costume design and the choreography were ground breaking.
Kendrick lemar – Alright:Â The message behind the song came across strong, and B+W filter was a vibe
Frank Ocean – Pyramids:Â Super arty, and the added john mayer solo is amazing
