Tinie Tempah album 'better than singles'

Tinie Tempah has claimed that there are better tracks on his album than the singles he has released.

The rapper, whose first single 'Pass Out' reached number one on the UK chart, said that he would rate his first three releases as six out of ten compared to what is on the LP.

He told MTV: "When I listened to the album I thought there were so many different sounds and influences and different genres of music, so I would say 'Pass Out', 'Frisky' and now 'Written In The Stars' are an alright indication.

"On a scale of one to ten of representation I would say it's like a six and there are four more points you need to discover to get a full feel of the album."

Tempah also revealed that a collaboration with Professor Green is likely for his next record.

He said: "I would definitely like to work with Professor Green. A collaboration is definitely in the pipeline but for me on my album it was more about expressing myself and giving people an in-depth idea of what I am like as a person and an artist.

"I have just concentrated on making it all about me respectively, but on the second album we are definitely going to go into the studio and do something epic. I have a lot of love for Professor Green."

Tempah's debut album is out in September.
