Olly Murs has said that his new album is more soulful than his debut.
The singer - who will release his second studio album later this year - compared his new material to that of chart-topping artist Mika.
"The second album has got a lot more of a soulful feel to it," Murs told The Sun.
"I'm a very happy-go-lucky person so I do songs that are very happy-go-lucky. My next single is even happier than 'Heart Skips A Beat', if that's possible. I'm the new Mika, f**king hell."
The X Factor star also revealed that the original artwork for his new single was very camp and he decided to have it redesigned.
Murs said: "You should have seen the single cover before the final version was decided on. It was horrendous. I don't know what my team were thinking."
Olly Murs recently announced plans to embark on his first UK arena tour in early 2012.
The singer's new single 'Heart Skips A Beat' is available to download now.
