2013 is setting up to be an incredible year for British super producer Naughty Boy. Not content with producing Emeli Sandé's 'Our Version of Events', Naughty Boy a.k.a Shahid Khan steps out of the shadows to release 'Hotel Cabana' one of the most anticipated and exciting pop albums of the year. It seems there's just no stopping this creative visionary whose last single 'La la la' has become a smash hit with over 25 million video views.

A British record in every sense, Hotel Cabana features a stellar cast including Tinie Tempah, Professor Green, Wretch 32, Emeli Sandé, Ed Sheeran, Bastille, Gabrielle: Brit newcomers Ella Eyre, Sam Smith, Chasing Grace and Tanika as well as U.S hip hop maestro Wiz Khalifa.

It's a concept album and as concept albums go it's wildly, brilliantly, cinematically ambitious. Hotel Cabana has a narrative, it's a party album, it's a number of beautifully realised musical metaphors; Naughty Boy's first dream-house - a shed in his parents' garden where he built his first studio and where he and Sandé began writing songs; or perhaps it's the Oz forever on the horizon for this Watford boy; or the music industry, the world that this working class kid always felt was a yellow brick road too far.

But more than all that Hotel Cabana is something stronger still: a 13-track album bristling with solid-gold musicality, "The melodies, the hooks, the vocals - that's the most important thing for me", says this visionary pop fan, "We're in a time when people are afraid to make real music. But the people want to hear something fresh and amazing."
