The upcoming Nu King world tour will mark the “Talk Dirty To Me” singer’s first appearance in the UK in 5 years, following his 2Sides world tour in 2018.

Derulo has not released a studio album since 2015’s Everything Is 4, however, this year the Florida born singer excited fans by releasing two solo singles, “Glad U Came” and “Slow Low”. In addition to this, Derulo has recently collaborated with Dido on the track “When Love Sucks” and DJ David Guetta on the track “Saturday/Sunday”.

The 33-year-old pop star shared earlier this year in a conversation with The Sun‘s Bizarre column, as quoted by Yahoo that he is working on his first studio album in 8 years, and will be pleasing fans by releasing new music every month.

“I finally see eye to eye, there’s gonna be more music than ever. I’m actually going to be releasing a song every single month. I’ve got some really, really exciting material as well as a really cool project which is an audio experience that has never been accomplished before.”

I addition to actively releasing music, Derulo has been busy with his new BBC Three talent show Project Icon, which launched in March. The singer created the show alongside his manager Frank Harris, and the pair starred as judges on the talent show alongside pop star Becky Hill. The show follows 10 aspiring artists competing for a single deal on Derulo and Harris’ own music label, Future History Records.

Ahead of the show’s release, Jason Derulo told NME “We are searching for tomorrow’s next superstar, and hopefully making someone’s dreams come true.”
