X-Factor boyband JLS have revealed that they're looking at collaborating with some other artists on their forthcoming fourth studio album – and Canadian rapper Drake seems to be top of their wishlist.
Speaking to the The Daily Star, the JLS boys talked about the importance of their currently untitled new album, describing it as 'pivotal' to their career', and hope to gain more of an international audience. And, what's the best way to go about that? Collaborate with an international superstar, of course.
“We'd love to do a record with Drake and we're going to approach him to feature on our next single as it has to be our best yet,” JLS star Marvin Humes told the paper. “I really want to see both him and Rihanna at Wireless Festival.”
He continued on to talk about the soon-come album, saying: “Options are not good enough - we need an out-and-out smash. We're going to Scandinavia and America over the next few weeks to put pen to paper.Our fourth album is pivotal to our career. While we're very proud of what we've achieved – we've sold five million albums so far – the next album has to take us international.”
