The interview is one of a series of interviews with JLS by MUZU.TV and preceded the recent release of the Band’s new album, Jukebox, and their latest single ‘Take A Chance On Me’.
Band member Marvin is a particular fan of Take That, and especially their single ‘Back for Good’ and believes it is “a song that will stand the test of time and will still be being played in 30 years.” He says his biggest influence was the ‘King of Pop’ Michael Jackson.
Meanwhile, inspiration behind much of the Band’s music comes in the form of classical music, states JB, with a particular influence from the ‘The Gladiator’ soundtrack, which he would listen to before gigs and on tour. The track is one of his favourite songs to listen to when writing songs, as “it has highs and lows and excitement in its music”.
