Tinie Tempah has revealed he would love to work with Myles Smith, saying they could create another festival hit like Written in the Stars.
Speaking to Capital Breakfast with Will Manning, Tinie was asked about the dream artist he would still like to collaborate with after working with stars including Calvin Harris, Kelly Rowland, Zara Larsson and Ellie Goulding.
Tinie explained that his choice changes as new artists emerge but singled out Myles Smith as someone he would particularly like to work with.
“I do really like Myles Smith a lot. I’d love to work on something with him. I think we’d make something pretty magical,” he said.

Tinie also looked back at his collaboration history while discussing Written in the Stars, the 2015 track he recorded with Eric Turner, and which remains a popular part of his live sets.
“I could imagine me and Myles making a song a bit like that,” he said.
The rapper also revealed that many people are unaware he appeared on the original remix of Zara Larsson’s Lush Life, which has recently found a new audience online.
Tinie said his children were the ones who brought the renewed interest to his attention after hearing their schoolmates talking about the track.
He explained: “They were like ‘Dad everyone at school is listening to Lush Life. And on Instagram the only sound you can get is the Lush Life version with you on it.’”
Tinie said the unexpected resurgence has encouraged him to put the song back into his live sets, where he says it has been going down well.
He added: “So, now I’ve slotted it back into the sets and it’s going off.”
