Labrinth has named his new record following a decision to turn down collaborations with some of the biggest names in the business.

The singer's new LP will be called 'Take Me To The Truth', and he explained his decision to Digital Spy.

"The album's called 'Take Me to the Truth', and the truth is, I'm not going to pretend to be friends with loads of Hollywood stars and put them on my album and make s**t records with them just to have their name on there.

"I did work with a few US artists - like, massive names - but I just didn't think the songs were quite right, so I thought, 'I don't want to put out crap music'.

"I don't want to make something I don't enjoy, because I'm going to have to sing it for the next two years. I was like, 'Just don't do it, don't put it on the album'.

"It was a hard one, of course, because from a label and popular standpoint it could look really good on iTunes, but I'd rather just sell the music that I like."

Labrinth's sister ShezAr believes her sibling's music has matured, and she's happy he's taken inspiration from a range of different genres to best suit his style.

She previously commented: "I'm just so happy with this album that he's creating, he's going to some next level of musicality and vibes, and he's using all of his influences from growing up to what's of today's trending types of music genres."

New single 'Let It Be' is to be released September 28, with 'Take Me To The Truth' following soon after.
