EXCLUSIVE Jonas Blue teases Liam Payne collaboration

When One Direction went on hiatus at the end of 2015, each of the boys immediately took off in a different musical direction, with Liam Payne arguably the member to go on to create music that is the most different to 1D’s sound.

The star has now comfortably established himself in the R&B world with his hit songs including chart-toppers ‘Strip That Down’ and ‘Get Low’, collaborating with the likes of Charlie Puth and Zedd.

And it sounds like Liam will soon have another star collaborator to add to his resume, with Essex DJ and producer Jonas Blue revealing that he and Liam have discussed working together in the very near future.

Speaking exclusively to Yahoo Celeb UK at the VEVO Halloween party in Manchester, Jonas – real name Guy Robin – explained: “I’m an absolute fan of Liam.

“We said that we would like to do a collab.

“Hopefully we can make it happen; I think that we would both want it for our album so I think the best thing we could do is make it a single.”

Speaking about the way Liam has shed his clean-cut One Direction image, Jonas added: “I love [his solo songs]. He’s got an amazing team behind him, I love what they have done with him and how they have sculpted him from his 1D days.

“I would have thought it would have been Harry Styles [who did the best as a solo artist] but I love the way they each have their own sound and make it work.

“I was a massive 1D fan, weirdly I feel like I could work with them all.”

And Jonas even teased that if he does get in the studio with Liam then a new song might not be too far away, revealing that he wrote Craig David’s song ‘Heartline’ in less than 24 hours.

He told us: “I turned that around in a day. It was literally him coming into the studio and I was on the piano.”

Here’s hoping a Liam Payne and Jonas Blue collaboration is with us sooner rather than later.
