In a joint interview with Blige for The Guardian, it emerged that as well as Disclosure and Smith, she has also been working with Jimmy Napes on the record.

Napes has previously co-written both Disclosure and Sam's debut albums, with Howard also revealing that their song with Mary will be called Right Now.

He explained: "The track Right Nowstarted with some chords I made on Jimmy Napes' piano.

Meanwhile, it was also confirmed that Smith has written four new tunes for the LP, including "doo-wop" track titled Therapy.

The London Sessions is due for release in November.
