Preeya Kalidas eyes Tempah collaboration

Preeya Kalidas has said that she is hoping to collaborate on a track with Tinie Tempah.

The former EastEnders actress, who quit the soap earlier this year to pursue a music career, is keen to team up with the rapper after they both worked with producer Labrinth.

"I love Tinie. I met him because we’ve worked with the same producer," she told the Daily Star.

“Labrinth, who did 'Frisky' and 'Pass Out', has done a song on my album so I met Tinie at his surprise 21st birthday party.

"I’d love to collaborate. 'Pass Out' for me was a no-brainer - if you didn’t move to that tune you’ve got issues."

Discussing her new single 'Shimmy', she said: "I think it’s important to take risks in life. I would have regretted it in a few years if I hadn’t tried."

'Shimmy' is released on July 26.
