JLS have sampled a classic Bing Crosby song on their new album.

The boyband have included a dance-influenced reworking of Crosby's festive hit 'Can You Hear What I Hear?' on their new LP Jukebox.

The Daily Star reports that the upcoming record boasts a mixture of club anthems and R&B ballads.

'Innocence' is described as a "sweet acoustic guitar ballad", while 'Killed By Love' is touted as a "seriously sexy mid-tempo Timbaland-style anthem".

Aston Merrygold told the tabloid: "We called the album Jukebox because there are all sorts of songs on there.

"We spent six months recording in London, LA and Copenhagen with only one rule - there would be no boundaries."

He added: "There are songs on the album fans wouldn't expect from us and songs that couldn't be by anyone else.

"Vocally, we pushed ourselves more than ever before. You won't have heard me sing higher, or Marvin lower, but there are also more complex harmonies. We weren't scared to try anything out."

JLS's third studio album Jukebox will be released on November 14, while their new single 'Take A Chance On Me' can be downloaded on November 6.
