John Newman Talks That Brand New Calvin Harris Collab: 'It's Shocked Us Both'

John Newman has confirmed he's got another Calvin Harris tune in the bag and apparently it's so incredible it "shocked" them both.

Last month, Calvin told Capital about their brand new song saying: "It’s with John Newman but it’s much better than ‘Blame’," so we had to ask the 'Love Me Again' chart topper at MTV Crashes Coventry this weekend if it's going to live up to the hype...

"We have done a tune together and it’s incredible," he revealed. "I don’t want to say too much ‘cause I didn’t know he said that! 

"My next single is coming after this [his tune 'Give Me Your Love' with Sigala] - it’s produced by Calvin and...it’s kind of a reggae vibe which is quite cool and...we’ve done something else together behind the scenes as well, which is something which has shocked us both I think because we were so proud of the success of ‘Blame’ and then we kinda listened to [this new song] and we were like, "this is totally different to anything we’ve ever made and done together."

He added: "[It's] really exciting and I’m excited to keep on working with him and to start bringing new singles and new singles and that’s what I’m going to content to do throughout the year."
