Jessie J to collaborate with Ed Sheeran

British hip-hop artist Ed Sheeran confirmed reports that he is set to record a duo with Jessie J. According to his words, they have already set up the collaboration, and all they need is to establish the exact date.

"Jessie J and I are talking about a duet. I don't want either of us simply to feature on the other person's song. I want it to be a genuine collaboration where we both sing equal amounts", claimed Ed Sheeran.

Last month Jessie J revealed details about her next studio effort. According to the singer, her second album will feature much darker atmosphere than the first one, and tell about "bad place" she was in before signing a deal with record label.

"There'll be a lot more pain in the lyrics on my next album. For the seven years before I signed my record deal I was in a bad place and I was scared that I couldn't get out of it. That's why I wrote such upbeat music, as a way of trying to escape how I felt", claimed Jessie J.

Jessie J released her first studio effort Who You Are earlier this year.
