Grammy winner John Legend decided Dreams is so good, he wanted to keep it for himself and nabbed it back from the 21-year-old Jonas Brother, Joe.

John said: “I wrote the song Dreams with Joe and liked it so much as it felt like something I should do, so I asked him if I could have it back.

“He was fine about it thankfully, so it will be on my new album that I hope to put out in March next year.”

Joe’s first solo single See No More, out next month, sees him dabble with electro pop in a bid to become the new Justin Timberlake, 30.

Meanwhile, 32-year-old John is making his fourth album after last year’s politically charged Wake Up album picked up a Grammy for Best R&B Album.

He said: “I’ve written some new songs that are politically minded for this new album, love songs, songs about relationships and person-to-person relationships.

“I’ve written a song called All Of Me that I think will be really a big song, that could be a first single, and will connect with a lot of people.”

The first cut is due out in September and, hard at work in the studio with Kanye West, 33, John is determined to deliver another quality listen.

He added: “The new album is very far along so I’m really excited.

“Kanye is executively producing it and writing a lot of songs with me.

“It’s great when we’re in the studio together. It’s creative, fun and we’re always pushing ourselves to write better, produce better, do everything better.”

And what of John’s English protégé, 31-year-old Estelle?

He grinned: “She has a new single called Break My Heart, which I co-wrote and love.

“Her new album’s coming in September.”

Looking forward to it.
