Conor Maynard has admitted that pop star Labrinth is "slow" in the music studio.
Laying down tracks for his sophomore album for several months now, he's been working with the hitmaker on some new songs.
Working hard to fine tune the new music, he notes that this coupled with Labrinth's need for perfection has delayed the LP's release.
Speaking at last night's BRIT Awards nominations, he explained: "I'm going to say it; Labrinth takes forever to finish songs!
Promising his fans the LP is near completion, he added: "I felt like I just needed to step back. I really wanted to step back and think what am I going to do with my second album, rather than thinking I've got a new song and releasing it for the sake of it.
"I wanted to really work hard on the album and make it really good. I've been doing some cool things. It's getting really close to being ready now ... I was 19 when I released the first album and now I'm 22, so I wanted to reinvent what I was for. With the first album it was, 'Oh you're the British Justin Bieber.' So I took that and thought about what I need to do to really mould myself into who I want to be as an artist."
Conor's also been working with Craig David and Timbaland on other tracks to be featured, and admitted it was a huge thrill to make music with Craig.
"I recently had a few sessions with Craig David, he came over to London. I was a massive fan of his growing up so it was so cool to work with him. I feel like 2015 is going to be the year of Craig David, he's working on a lot right now."
