Sam Smith, Nathan Sykes may team up

Nathan Sykes, a former member of band The Wanted, says he has a soft corner for music by fellow British singers and that he might collaborate with Grammy winner Sam Smith.

"I've (been) listening to a lot of Sam Smith, Ed Sheeran and I'm living in hope for this Adele album. So, yes, I am quite biased toward the Brits," eonline quoted Sykes as saying.

If all goes well, Sykes says he and Smith may be making some music together.

"We've spoken about going into the studio before and I think it's quite likely going to happen over the next year," he said.

"It'll be insane. I think it'll be such a great opportunity to create something really cool."
