The latest season of the X-Factor UK kicked off in spectacular form tonight. Unsurprisingly, with this being the audition phase, the talented and talent-challenged came out in equal measure for a crack at progressing to the next stage. Judging the hopefuls are new additions Gary Barlow, Nicole Scherzinger,  Louis Walsh, and returning judge Sharon Osbourne.

With good reason, there’s no doubt Elijah Blake is fast becoming the envy of many an R&B upstart.

One of the only newbies to see his streaming figures match his growing hype, the last two years have seen his brand of Premium R&B force him to the front of his genre’s class- and thanks to cuts penned for Usher, Ciara and Rihanna– become the ‘go to guy’ for any Urban act in need of a hit.

So, it shouldn’t come as too much of a surprise that he has hinted at a fresh collaboration with the ‘We Found Love’ singer, teasing it while on the BMI R&B & Hip Hop Awards last week.
