Olly Murs on Demi Lovato collaboration: 'It just felt perfect'

Hitmaker Olly Murs has opened up about collaborating with Demi Lovato and revealed that it was a really solid working partnership and one that was made even more special by their ties to 'The X Factor'.

Speaking to MTV recently, the heartthrob explained that recording 'Up' with Lovato felt "perfect" and it was a really enjoyable process:

"It’s so hard when you come up with a duet or a collaboration because you want it to be a real partnership and Demi was just the perfect one. She ticks all the boxes: she’s cool, she’s fun, she’s got a great voice. There’s sort of a connection with the ‘X Factor’ there because she did the show, i think in this song, together it just felt perfect.”

He also opened up about his latest album, 'Never Been Better', and confessed that he wanted it to be 'punchier' than his previous releases:

"I wanted it to be more serious in the sense of the lyrics and make it real, and less cheesy, I suppose, from what I had on the last couple of albums, which I’m happy to admit there’s a few cheesy songs. But this one is just much better there’s more punch to it, a bit more balls."
