Matt Cardle is the new Coldplay and Snow Patrol, says Guy Chambers

Matt Cardle has been described as "very powerful and emotive" by songwriter Guy Chambers.

Chambers, most famous for his former partnership with Robbie Williams, has co-written two songs on the X Factor winner's debut album, which is due out later this year.

"He's a cross between Coldplay, Travis and Snow Patrol," he told The Sun.

"It's very accessible but it's also very powerful and emotive. He's got some really good tracks and he's a very nice guy. I've enjoyed working with him."

However, Chambers added that Cardle may find it difficult to be as successful as fellow X Factor champion Leona Lewis.

"I hope he'll be a success but obviously it will be hard for him to compete with Leona Lewis because she is a worldwide hit."

Matt Cardle has previously described his upcoming debut album as "anthemic".

His debut album, a joint venture between Syco Music and Columbia Records, is expected to be released in October.
