FOLLOWING his reunion with the band, THE JLS star has announced a solo single featuring a major noughties sample.
The singer recently announced he will be going on tour with his band mates.
Marvin Humes, 37, took to Instagram to announce the release of his new solo single, which will be available next Friday.
He told his fans that he had a “little competition” for them to celebrate the release of the new single.

He penned to his 747k followers: “What’s going on people, so I’m very excited to announce that I’m going to be releasing a brand new single next Friday, can I get a woo!”
He continued: “It’s taken a long time to get this song out there because there’s a big sample in there from a massive R&B noughties banger. I’m going to play a couple of tunes now and I want you to guess which one it is.”
Marvin then took to his DJ decks and played a selection of well-known R&B classics by artists ranging from Cassie to Usher to Snoop Dogg.
Fans flocked to the comments section to enter the competition with their answers and express their excitement for the new single, which will be released next Friday.
One wrote: “Can’t wait to hear the tune. Smashing it Marv!”
Another added: “Yes yes! It’s going to be a big one I can already tell.”
A third commented: “Whoop Whoop! I’m hoping it’s Snoop Dogg!”
A fourth penned: “This is so exciting!”
A fifth wrote: “Oh my god Marvin no way! I can’t wait to hear it.”
JLS formed in 2007 before they went on the fifth series of the X Factor in 2008.
The boys did well in the competition and placed second to winner Alexandra Burke.
Despite huge UK success, which included five studio albums, six million records in UK, and 10 million worldwide, as well as five MOBO wins and two Brit Awards, they never managed to crack the American market.
A statement on their official website on April 24, 2013, thanked their fans for their continued support.
The hit maker has recently announced he is going back on tour with his JLS bandmates.
