Jessie Ware has enlisted to be her male love interest in her new 'Fify Shades Of Grey'-style music video.
The singer, 41, is gearing up for the release of her sixth studio album Superbloom and her latest single from the record is called Ride.
The hitmaker and House Of Guinness star James are said to have shot the music video together at a top-secret location and things got rather steamy.
A source told The Sun: 'Jessie and James's video shoot was like Wuthering Heights meets Fifty Shades Of Grey.
'It's a very sexy song. You've got Jessie singing, 'I need a stallion who can go all night, someone to come and blow my mind,' and the video totally matches that.
'At one point, Jessie is basically riding James like a horse as she sings. It's visually incredible and James's fans are going to be absolutely fawning over him when they see him in it.'

The insider added James has long been a fan of Jessie's work and was happy to appear in the music video when it was offered to him.
Jessie's new album is scheduled for release on April 26. The debut single from the record, I Could Get Used To This, came out in January.
While her new music video may be inspried by Fifty Shades, James previously admitted he was turned down for the role of Christian Grey in the franchise.
The role of sado-masochist millionaire Christian Grey in the eponymous film went to Irish actor Jamie Dornan – and turned him into a star.

The much-hyped movie, featuring graphic sex scenes between The Fall star and as his submissive lover, was released in 2015.
James, who was relatively unknown when he auditioned, had just hit the big time after the release of the first series of the previous year.
He was the breakout star of the series as psychopathic Royce – the role for which he is still best known – and has not stopped working since.
On his audition for Fifty Shades, James recalled the director asking: 'Can you be a bit more charismatic?'
He told The Guardian: 'That's the hardest thing to just try and do. Especially since I was too young and self-conscious to even really know what she meant!'
The adaptation of E. L. James' Fifty Shades novel, which caused a sensation for its S&M subject matter when published in 2011, was box office gold despite being panned by critics.
