Mr Hudson wants to work with Calvin Harris.

The 'Supernova' hitmaker is keen to team up with the 'Acceptable in the 80s' singer as he thinks the pair would make a great combination because they balance each other out.

He said: "I definitely want to work with Calvin. There is a mutual respect there. I was telling him how much I liked his records sonically and he was saying he feels his production is a bit stronger than his writing. And I feel my production is weaker than my writing so I think we could combine to create some superhero of pop.

"I sometimes think I'm cheating in the studio while he has got that finesse. I think his album is great, sonically. I think a lot of dance music can sound very 2D whereas Calvin's album sounds 3D. There's lots of depth. There's songs."

Mr Hudson - real name Ben Hudson - has previously worked with stars such as Kanye West, Jay-Z, Estelle and N-Dubz but insists he isn't just an urban artist.

He said: "I want to work with lots of different things and if you hear the record you'll know my interests are quite broad. I don't see myself as part of a genre."
