Rising stars Lawson have opened up about working with Take That superstar Gary Barlow.

The new boyband explained to the Daily Star that they're on the same label as the famed singer-songwriter and were able to score some studio time with him after he gave their music his seal of approval:

"Take That are on the same label as us - Polydor - and we also work with the same producer, so Gary heard some of our stuff and really loved it."

"We went in and wrote together and it was a dream come true. He's an amazing guy and a great writer so I couldn't have asked for more."

"It was such a fast two days. We had six hours to write a couple of songs but as the album is already finished we'll have to do a deluxe version later to get them out."

The heartthrobs are due to release their new single, 'Taking Over Me', on August 5 and you can watch the video for the song below:
