SELENA Gomez’s new music doesn’t sound like anything she’s done before.
OneRepublic frontman Ryan Tedder has teamed up with the ‘Hands To Myself’ singer for a couple of tracks on her hotlyanticipated LP and has teased that the pair have been working on a “very heartfelt goose-bumpy mid-tempo” song.
He said: “We’ve done a couple of records, I couldn’t begin to predict what will make her album, but the ones that we did I’m ecstatic about. They don’t sound like anything else she has.

And the ‘Counting Stars’ hitmaker went on to praise the 24-year-old beauty for being a “sweetheart” and her beau The Weeknd, who was “incredible” when he saw him perform in Los Angeles.
He told Access Hollywood: “She’s a sweetheart and amazing. She’s like the nicest. We went to The Weeknd concert last weekend and hung out a bit in LA and ... he was incredible by the way, but she, she’s phenomenal. She knows what she wants, she has a distinct point of view.” — BANG Showbiz
