Cher Lloyd‘s team appear to be pulling out all the stops to ensure the singer’s debut album is a winner. Currently recording in Los Angeles, the 17 year old X Factor star today Tweeted the image above, of her and rapper Lil’ Wayne in the studio together. The Hip-Hop heavyweight joins a host of A-listers set to feature on the project; a list which includes will.i.am and RedOne. Reliable word has it the LP will be released later this year via Syco/Sony Music, as opposed to Roc Nation/Sony Music as first reported.

While the contrived nature of Lloyd’s X Factor stint makes it easy to be cynical (about her material), we’ll wait to hear what she’ll be serving up before passing judgement.
