Plan B is working on new material in the studio and is gearing up to make a comeback with a new ”soulful” album.

The ‘She Said’ hitmaker disappeared from the spotlight in 2012, after the release of ‘Ill Manors’ and his film of the same name, but is seemingly set to make a much-anticipated return.

Ben who directed movie ‘Ill Manors’ and starred in The Sweeney has been keeping busy but fans have patiently been waiting for his music return.

A insider revealed the Mirror: ”Ben became a dad and took his time to get back in the studio. The album sounds soulful with no rapping at the moment.”

The news comes as a surprise because after becoming a dad, Ben was in limbo about his career and even considered giving it all up for his daughter.

The 32-year-old star previously said: ”I’m completely in love with her, she’s the most important thing in my life. More important than music or film or anything.

”It makes the next album very difficult because I know how long I’m going to have to be away from her in order to make the next album successful and that scares me a bit.

”So I’m at a crossroads in terms of what I want to talk about and whether or not I even want that in my life anymore.”

Plan B’s third album is expected to be released in 2016.
