Conor Maynard has revealed that he will be releasing his new album in a couple of months.

The 22-year-old R U Crazy hitmaker, who released his debut album in 2012, is launching his yet-to-be-named second album in "June or July."

Speaking at Raymond Weil's annual pre-BRITs gala, hosted by Labrinth, he told BANG Showbiz: ''It will be out definitely in the middle of the year, around June or July, but I'm not sure what to name it yet.''

Maynard has collaborated with Craig David on his album, but he revealed that the new EP won't be packed full of famous artists.

He added, "The first album was collaboration heavy, Wiley, Ne-Yo, Frank Ocean, all these collaborations shaped the album, so with this album I wanted to take it back and make it more personal. There aren't any proper collaborations on the album, there are just producers who have stepped in.

"I did a tour where I was supporting Jason Derulo around the UK and I kept covering 'Fill Me In' during my set and I think someone showed a video of me covering it to Craig David. He just tweeted me saying he really liked it so I fangirled for a second and it was pretty amazing. I think connections were made through that and we decided it would be quite cool to work together."
