It features collaborators such as Canadian-Colombian singer-songwriter Jessie Reyez, American pop singer Joe Jonas, Scottish vocalist Nina Nesbitt, English songwriter Chelcee Grimes, Argentine singer Tini and Kosovar singer Era Istrefi.[1]

Includes all the hits plus 7 new tracks with some amazing new artists."[3] He told the Evening Standard that he "wanted to explore new talent and there's established acts and other people but it's been great to have the new up-and-coming talent on this".[4][5]
