Conor Maynard has been giving fans a hint at what to expect from his new album, which he has promised will be out soon.

The pop star released his debut album, Contrast, in 2012 and is putting the finishing touches to his follow up.

He said: “We’re almost there. I don’t know exactly when it will be out yet, I definitely need to hurry up though before my fans become hostile. I feel like they could snap at any moment.

“I don’t really think the second album has a specific sound, I tried to keep it as varied and versatile as I could. Over time in the studio, I just create whatever I feel like creating. But I would definitely say the new album has an older sound than the first… you can hear the progression.”

Conor added: “We strayed into everything, we would go into swing music and then just go full on hip hop. I think I truly believed I was Jay Z for a second. If I remember correctly we also did a swing version of the Fresh Prince Of Bel Air theme song. We’re that cool.”

He also added that he was looking forward to going back on tour: “The tour will probably take place after the album. I can’t wait to get back on the road again. I still have my bra collection from bras that were thrown on stage during the last tour. Looking forward to updating it.”

Conor Maynard’s new single, Royalty, is due to be released on July 10.
