Calvin Harris has revealed that he could be working with Katy Perry on her next album, after she admitted that she plans to go in a "dance" direction.
The two have been exchanging emails, though Harris told Radio 1 Newsbeat that it is up to the American to make the first move.
He said: "There are some murmurings about [working with] Katy Perry. But you can never tell with Americans whether it'll happen or not.
"She sent me a big long email comparing me to Phil Spector which I found incredible, but you've got to laugh haven't you? So that was great and we're possibly doing something."
The DJ also admitted that the two had discussed what kind of sound Perry is planning on her second album.
"She wants to do like a fun album, like a dance album but obviously still pop. I kind of fit that bill so I guess that's why she thought of me," he added.
