"The last time we caught up with Jermaine &amp;#039;Wretch 32&amp;#039; Sinclair, he was on the cusp of releasing his debut album Black &amp;amp; White. Since then, the LP has entered the top five and spawned two more hits in the form of &amp;#039;Don&amp;#039;t Go&amp;#039; and &amp;#039;Forgiveness&amp;#039;. With one final track to come from the record - his Ed Sheeran collaboration &amp;#039;Hush Little Baby&amp;#039; - we called him up to find out how album number two is coming along.  Your new single features Ed Sheeran. Have you been saving the best collaboration for last? &amp;quot;Honestly, we just put out what we felt was right at the time. We&amp;#039;ve always wanted to put this record out - we were originally going to release it last year - but it&amp;#039;s mad difficult when both artists are in separate campaigns. Everything always clashes. The song has become a fan favourite so I&amp;#039;m pleased to finally get it out there.&amp;quot; Will Ed feature in the video? &amp;quot;We haven&amp;#039;t shot it yet but he&amp;#039;s definitely up for it. We&amp;#039;ve just got to pin him down! He&amp;#039;s working so hard at the moment.&amp;quot; He&amp;#039;s known for his quirky music videos... &amp;quot;The song is quite a serious one, so I think we&amp;#039;ll be staying away from the quirky stuff this time! A weird video would be awkward for this song, wouldn&amp;#039;t it?&amp;quot; So is this the final single from Black &amp;amp; White? &amp;quot;This is definitely it now - it&amp;#039;s the last one from this record. I&amp;#039;m happy &amp;#039;Hush&amp;#039; is the final song. To be honest, I haven&amp;#039;t been paying much attention to the charts of late, it&amp;#039;s all about what feels good and connecting to as many people as possible.&amp;quot;  You recently put out a remix of Usher&amp;#039;s &amp;#039;Climax&amp;#039;. We take it you are a fan of the original? &amp;quot;I really like it, and I thought it would be nice to do something with it. The scene I come from, we just hear a beat we like and nab it and throw it out online. I don&amp;#039;t want to get too caught up in the seriousness of the industry - I still want to be able to have fun and freedom with what I do. When I heard that song I wanted to put my own spin on it instantly. It&amp;#039;s got that old-but-new feel to it.&amp;quot;  The track is produced by Diplo; would you want to work with him? &amp;quot;He makes good beats, but he&amp;#039;s a bit cheeky, so I don&amp;#039;t work with Diplo.&amp;quot;  Why is he cheeky? &amp;quot;He tweeted something about me. But he&amp;#039;s a cool guy though, I&amp;#039;m sure he means well. I won&amp;#039;t be doing anything with him though.&amp;quot; You&amp;#039;ve been in the studio with Tinie Tempah and Angel recently; does that mean you&amp;#039;re working on a new album too? &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;ve nearly finished it! I&amp;#039;m also putting out another mixtape called Wretchersize which is just me wretchersizing over some beats. It&amp;#039;ll come out before the album.&amp;quot; Be careful you don&amp;#039;t run out of Wretch-themed titles... &amp;quot;Yes, I&amp;#039;m near the end of that now! I&amp;#039;m not sure what else I can use next - please tweet me if you think of one! Wretchribution maybe? I don&amp;#039;t know, whatever that means.&amp;quot;  What does the new album sound like? &amp;quot;It sounds like a progression - it&amp;#039;s me carrying on from Black &amp;amp; White. I feel like lyrically I&amp;#039;ve got better, the music has got better with me and the choruses are stronger with it. There&amp;#039;s just a better feeling and it&amp;#039;s even better this time.&amp;quot;  What guest features have you lined up for it? &amp;quot;I definitely want to work with some more great British acts. There are so many I&amp;#039;m feeling at the moment. The Stooshe girls are cool - I&amp;#039;ve heard some of their other stuff beyond their first single and it sounds really great. I think they&amp;#039;re going to smash it this year.&amp;quot;  You&amp;#039;re booked for several festivals this year. What do you make of reports that the festival boom is over? &amp;quot;Festivals are difficult events to organise. There are so many different artists with different needs and styles in one place and one time. I just grit my teeth and get through it. At the same time, they&amp;#039;re great events. You can&amp;#039;t beat playing to that sort of crowd.&amp;quot; Wretch 32 release &amp;#039;Hush Little Baby&amp;#039; on May 20. His second studio album follows later this year.
