Will Young and Nitin Sawhney have secretly been collaborating to produce music that might end up in Young third album. The move might see the pop singer and former Pop Idol winner take a different and more eclectic direction with his music.

Five secret tracks have been made and there is speculation they might also end up on Nitin Sawhney’s next album. Sources in the music industry have reported that Young had been a huge fan of Sawhney and approached him initially to work together.

From what was originally planned to be a one-track collaboration eventually led to five tracks being produced. Sawhney is also planning to work with singers Raghav and Deeyah in the near future.

His lates album of remixes, All Mixed Up, is out on 25th October, with the studio album expected next year. In November he will lead the orchestra on stage in Birmingham, Brighton, Cambridge and the Royal Festival Hall in London with an extraordinary line-up of classical, jazz and world musicians. The programme will feature music ranging from the Bollywood sounds of AR Rahman through to Steve Reich’s rhythmic minimalism.
