R&B star Jason Derulo has opened up about his new album Tattoos, calling it "a step up" from his previous work.

Speaking to The Daily Star, the singer revealed: “It’s a step up and I’m ready. It’s important that people don’t expect what I give them.”

Tattoos, which is due out on September 23, features current hit The Other Side as well as a collaboration with 2 Chainz entitled Talk Dirty.

Jason said: “It was a main goal of mine to mix up the sounds. There are so many twists and turns on the album … It’s important when someone thinks they’ve figured you out to flip them."

The 23-year-old continued: “In America they’re thinking it’s really shocking we’ve gone with 2 Chainz. However, I’m purely a fan of what he does.

"He heard the song, fell in love with it and jumped on it.”

Derulo has previously topped the charts with his tracks In My Head and Don't Wanna Go Home.
