Nathan Sykes says Ariana Grande's duet vocals are 'beautiful'

Nathan Sykes has lavished praise on Ariana Grande after recording a new duet with her.

The two singers - and ex partners - teamed up recently for a new version of Sykes' 'Over and Over Again'.

In a new interview with Billboard, the former Wanted man opened up about how the idea to feature Grande came about.

He added that he is very chuffed at how the duet came out.

Sykes said: "I sat there listening to the song when it came on the radio in the UK and I said, 'You know who'd sound great on this?' - it was just a really random thought - 'Ariana. She'd sound fantastic on this song'.

"And obviously, we'd done 'Almost Is Never Enough' before, on her debut album 'Yours Truly', and that's where I met my executive producer Harmony Samuels.

"He's just fantastic. And that's who I wrote 'Over and Over Again' with. So it's kind of come full-circle. She was really up for it, and she went in and put down an amazing, just beautiful vocal."

Sykes meanwhile is expected to release his debut solo album later this year.
