JLS admitted they’re vying for a Stormzy collaboration at they sealed their return at the Brit Awards last night.
The four-piece have reformed seven years after they split, and reckon a track featuring the rapper would cement their comeback.
Speaking exclusively to The Sun Online, Oritsé Williams said the band had watched the UK rapper’s rise to the top of the charts during their break from music.
He said: “Stormzy obviously is incredible. I think a Stormzy / JLS collaboration would be absolutely epic. You’ve got the likes of Lizzo, Harry Styles, Lewis Capaldi. So there are super great artists her.
“There is a lot of inspiration for us tonight.”
The band, who shot to fame on The X Factor in 2008, is made up of Oritse, JB, Aston Merrygold and Marvin Humes.
Their reunion was first reported in November last year by The Sun – but they officially announced their return on Monday on The One Show.
Speaking to The Sun Online about what drew them back, JB said: “I think it is the buzz you know? When you come to a prestigious venue like this, we performed here multiple times.
“To come together, all these people from different countries, backgrounds, places, to celebrate music in what is arguably the biggest night in British music, it’s incredible. It’s really special to be a part of it.
“The buzz here is something you can’t take for granted.”
The lads spoke to The Sun using Google Pixel 4’s Recorder app that lets you automatically transcribe voice recordings and locate key moments from interviews.
