Iconic pop group JLS unveil their comeback track Eternal Love, their first new music since 2013 🙌

Eternal Love was written by the king of the charts Ed Sheeran, it perfectly encapsulates the signature JLS sound that Marvin, Aston, Oritsé and JB have become synonymous for. We're talking sing seamless harmonies infused with classic RnB beats.

You could say Cool FM's Rebecca McKinney was just a 'little' bit excited to catch up with the boys, who are back with a bang after an eight year hiatus.

When asked about the pressure that comes with a return to music, Aston and Oritsé joked that the pressure was on Ed Sheeran. "Ed feels a little guilty because Lego House was really written for us, he admitted it himself, so he said you know what boys, I'm going to give you Eternal Love."

Just like thousands of other live shows over the last 12 months, the band were forced to postpone their comeback tour, 'Beat Again 2020', due to the current pandemic.

The boys were kept busy over lockdown, growing the families, recording new music and by the looks of things brushing up on their dance moves thanks to TikTok.

Rebecca teased Aston about his notorious backflips and would they be included his fiancés choreography for the upcoming tour.

"We still feel brand new, we're still young enough to jump around the stage, and just jump around in general," laughs Aston. "It still feels like first time round for us, our backs aren't going to go and our knees won't give way."

JLS are in fact one of the first pop acts to take to the SSE arena stage in Belfast, after the landmark venue was used as a vaccination centre for months.

We can't wait to see JLS return in November, there are limited tickets still available online.
