Queen Latifah has offered budding singers the chance to record a track for her new album.

The rapper and actress has extended the invite to the songwriter who composes the best original song for her Persona LP.

Speaking at the People's Choice Awards, Latifah said she is looking for a "fresh new voice and a hot new song" for the album.

The top three tracks will be shortlisted by the singer and fans will be able to vote for their favourite though an online poll next month. The winning artist will be given the opportunity to record the song as a duet with Latifah.
