JLS: 'New sound is not American'

JLS have insisted that they haven't changed their sound to appeal to the US market.

The group said that despite having met with producers in the US, their sophomore album is still aimed at their UK fans.

Asked if their new single 'The Club Is Alive' reflected the sound of the new record, Marvin told Digital Spy: "I wouldn't say so. We haven't finished recording the album yet, but so far there are no other songs where Auto-Tune is used to that degree."

JB added: "We've been in the US meeting a lot of different producers, but the majority of the album's being recorded in the UK. It's a progression from our first album, but we're not changing to a US sound.

"Our fans are largely from the UK and this album is still for them. We like to think we're establishing the JLS sound as opposed to sounding like other artists."

The pair also revealed that they have worked with Calvin Harris, Labrinth and Stargate on the upcoming LP, due out later this year.
