Nathan Sykes talks collaborating with Sam Smith

Nathan Sykes, formerly of The Wanted, told E! News about collaborating with four-time Grammy-winner Sam Smith.

“We’ve spoken about going into the studio before and I think it’s quite likely going to happen over the next year,”

“It’ll be insane,” Sykes added. “I think it’ll be such a great opportunity to create something really cool.”

The 21-year-old singer also confessed to be biased towards other singers from the U.K. in terms of what music has inspired him for his solo project.

“I’ve listened to a lot of Sam Smith, Ed Sheeran, and I’m living in hope for this Adele album,” he said. “So, yes, I am quite biased toward the Brits.”
