Cheryl Fernandez-Versini is working on a new album

Cheryl Fernandez-Versini is working on a new album, and boyfriend Liam Payne is said to be helping her compose various tracks.

The two are currently living together in the One Direction artist’s home, where they often utilize his recording equipment to create new tracks for the new album.

An insider revealed to Heat magazine: “They watch a lot of box sets, they play quiz games and Liam’s got this amazing home studio with top-of-the-range equipment, so they work in there too.”

The source also explained that Fernandez-Versini, while busy, is also trying to take more time off for the sake of her health.

He added: “Cheryl loves having the time off – she knows she really ran herself ragged last year and can’t continue to do that to her health. She is taking it very easy in that sense. I don’t know if she will go back to a TV talent show now – her dream would be to make a successful album, do a tour and get the respect and acclaim she deserves as a singer.”

Fernandez-Versini is planning to work professionally with her boyfriend’s friends and come up with a more “grown-up” album.

“She’s thinking with Liam behind her, she can make a more grown-up album, work on a few collaborations – maybe with Liam’s very high-profile mates – and spend time in LA too,” the insider admitted.

Payne and Fernandez-Versini try to live a fairly low-key lifestyle, enjoying quiet evenings at his local pub whenever they get the chance.

The business’ manager recently said: “He comes in about once a month with his girlfriend and they sit down and order food. It’s quiet and peaceful around here, since it’s mostly older people.”
