Rudimental have spoken about their forthcoming collaboration with Ed Sheeran.

Back in December, the Thinking Out Loud singer revealed to MTV News that his X album track Bloodstream would be getting a touch of Rudi-magic, stating: “I’ve done a song with Rudimental that is actually a song on my album.

“We've just re-done it and it’s heavy, it’s going to be great. They’ve re-done it, it’s going to be sort of their first single off their new record...It’s really good."

[related]During an interview with The Sun, Rudimental’s DJ Locksmith has disclosed more info regarding their hook-up, stating: “We were working in LA and he rocked up to our studio with The Game and Ellie Goulding.

“We made four tracks and revisited one this year to give it a Rudimental spin. We've known Ed for years. I remember when we first saw him getting noticed by everyone, he gave us one of his tracks to remix and he said it was one of the best remixes he'd ever had.”

He continued: “We'd never recorded with him before, but we kept the connection and he's a massive name now. The song is so sick, so insane. We can't wait to show it to people.”

Locksmith - real name Leon Rolle - also went on to confirm that they’ve worked with John Newman and Ella Eyre again on their forthcoming new album.

The star teased: “The album's in its finishing process. It should be out in April, just in time for the festivals."

We can’t wait to hear it!
