Turning Red, wherein powerhouse siblings Finneas and Billie Eilish – the former appearing as part of the fictional boyband 4*Town (a tongue-in-cheek riff on *NSYNC) – take fans right back to 2002.Titled ‘Nobody Like U’, the song is an almost scarily accurate pastiche of early ‘00s pop. It starts with washed-out vocals, clicky synth beats and quasi-flamenco strumming, before bursting into a lively bop driven by bold, modulated piano chords and stacked lead vocals.Opening the intently cheesy, ultra-nostalgic track, the fictional 4*Town quintet – flanked by Eilish on backing vocals – croon: “I’ve never met nobody like you / Had friends and I’ve had buddies, it’s true / But they don’t turn my tummy the way you do.”Check out the lyric video for ‘Nobody Like U’, replete with scrapbook-esque nods to relics of ‘00s culture, below:Finneas voices the role of Jesse in Turning Red, with his “bandmates” rounded out by Robaire (as portrayed by Jordan Fisher), Aaron T (Topher Ngo), Aaron Z (Josh Levi) and Tae Young (Grayson Villanueva). The film is set for a worldwide release on March 11.

Kate Middleton displayed several signs of anxiety on a recent Royal solo trip and doesn't carry the same confidence as the Queen, according to a body language experts.The Duchess of Cambridge flew to Denmark earlier this week to pay tribute to the historic ties Britain shares with the country.She is also there to celebrate joint jubilees – the Golden Jubilee of Denmark’s Queen Margrethe II and the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee, both of which fall in 2022.But during her trip, body language expert Judi James claims the Duchess displayed an obvious sense of anxiety.
