JLS: 'We'd Love To Get Into The Studio With Ed Sheeran'
Wednesday, 25 January 2012
Written by Elliott Batte
X-Factor boy band JLS have confessed that they’d absolutely love to collaborate with flame-haired guitar star Ed Sheeran.
Aston Merrygold and gang have revealed that they’re huge fans of the ‘Lego House’ singer, and think that a duet between them would sound ‘magical’. They went on to say that they’d be pursuing the idea as soon as they get the opportunity - adding that he ‘writes quality songs’.
Oritse Williams told MTV: “We bumped into him at an airport and he came up to us and said, 'How's it going, what's going to be happening in the New Year?' We said that we would love to get into the studio and write some new tracks because we love his album and his music - he writes quality songs. We think the collaboration would be pretty magical. So when we get an opportunity we will definitely be trying to put that together.”
Williams then went on to talk about groups forthcoming album, and said: “With this album, we are steering it in a slightly different direction that we can't really talk about, but it will still obviously have the JLS stamp.
“We are very excited; we have been working with some really exciting producers and writers on this album, some from the old school, some from the new school. I've been wanting to say this for a long time, but we're working with Babyface, Bangladesh and Sean Garrett.”
