Wiley is to release his first pop album 'I See Clear' this Autumn and the likes of Lily Allen, Hot Chip and Mark Ronson will appear on the LP.
The 'Wearing My Rolex' hitmaker is quoted as saying: "I always wanted to work with Lily since I heard 'Alright, Still'. It was weird 'cos when I listened to it I used to sit there giggling thinking this girl's cool."
"But then I realised she wasn't just cool, she'd sold a million records. I respected her even more after that. The track we've done is a scorcher."
"This is the way I want to go," the 29-year-old grime pioneer added. "I want to push boundaries but I want to stay in the charts by making tunes that connect with people. It's pop all the way from here."
Speaking of the other collaborators, Wiley says: "Working with Mark Ronson was cool. There are a few trumpets on the track but it's not brass overload. And I'm proud of what I've done with Hot Chip."
The second single from 'I See Clear' is 'Summertime', available on September 22 - you can watch the brand new video here.
