JLS shift gear into a fresh era with the release of new album, Evolution on November 5th. The album deftly documents a growth for the boys as we see them mature both personally and sonically with Evolution.
The album will be preceded by the single Hottest Girl In The World, released on 21st October.
Evolution sees JLS move in a more urban direction and sees the Brit boys working with a stellar list of American urban producers including hip hop producers The Runners [Rihanna, Chris Brown, Rick Ross] and Midi Mafia [Brandy, Frank Ocean] to legendary R&B hit-maker Rodney Jerkins [TLC, Kanye West, Beyonce]
The lead single Hottest Girl In The World is a sleek, modern club song and shows a maturity and progression, which takes the group out of pop territory.
A seamless transition into grown-up R&B, JB, Marvin, Oritsé and Aston go in on the high notes, showcasing their audacious vocals alongside the tight production, courtesy of Bangladesh [Lil Wayne, Beyonce, Usher]. Hottest Girl In The World will be premiered on UK radio on the 6th Sept.
