Lily Allen has recorded a new song with Wiley, which is set to appear on the UK grime stars next album.
Wiley revealed that he has wanted to work with Allen ever since he heard her 2006 debut album 'Alright, Still'.
“It was weird ’cos when I listened to it I used to sit there giggling thinking this girl’s cool. But then I realised she wasn’t just cool, she’d sold a million records,” he told the Daily Star.
“I respected her even more after that. The track we’ve done is a scorcher. This is the way I want to go.
"I want to push boundaries but I want to stay in the charts by making tunes that connect with people. It’s pop all the way from here.”
Wiley has also been working in the studio with producer Mark Ronson, who he performed with at festivals during the summer.
“Working with Mark Ronson was cool. There are a few trumpets on the track but it’s not brass overload,” he said.
