The ‘Blinding Lights’ hitmaker – who performed the Super Bowl LV Half Time Show on Sunday (07.02.21) – has contacted the production trio about collaborating on his next single.<\/p>\n

Mattia Vitale – who makes up the Italian songwriting group with Luca de Gregorio and Simone Giani – told the Daily Star newspaper’s Wired column: “We are in contact with a few people, from The Weeknd to John Legend.<\/p>\n

“It’s not easy at the moment. When sessions are on Skype or Zoom, it takes more time. But we’ve been doing that and maybe we’ll get the studio with the later.”<\/p>\n

Mattia – whose group are currently enjoying success with ‘Paradise’ featuring Dermot Kennedy – also weighed in on the Grammy Awards controversy after The Weeknd blasted the ceremony for snubbing his album ‘After Hours’.<\/p>\n

He said: “He deserves it, but it doesn’t mean if you don’t get a Grammy you’re not a good artist.<\/p>\n

“If I was him I’d remember, ‘OK, it’s just a game, you know. People love my music and people are sharing my music’ – that’s the most important thing.”<\/p>\n

However, The Weeknd – whose real name is Abel Tesfaye – recently insisted his previous Grammys now “mean nothing” to him after the snub.<\/p>\n

The 30-year-old singer won Best Urban Contemporary Album for ‘Beauty Behind the Madness’ in 2016, while claiming Best R&B Performance for ‘Earned It’ the same year.<\/p>\n

Then, in 2017, his third record ‘Starboy’ saw him win the Grammy for Best Urban Contemporary Album again.<\/p>\n

He explained: “Look, I personally don’t care anymore. I have three Grammys, which mean nothing to me now, obviously.<\/p>\n

“It\u2019s not like, \u2018Oh, I want the Grammy!\u2019 It\u2019s just that this happened, and I\u2019m down to get in front of the fire, as long as it never happens again.<\/p>\n

\u201cI suck at giving speeches anyways. Forget awards shows.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
