In a new interview with Access Hollywood to promote the launch of a new collaborative collection between Puma and Rihanna’s Fenty brand, the ‘Work’ singer was asked about who she would want to work with for her own dream collaboration.

Rihanna replied: “If I could only do a song with Billie Eilish. Mm-mm, she’s so good.” The interview cuts off shortly after the reply, without Rihanna expanding on her choice for her dream collaborator.

Watch a clip of the interview below.

Rihanna has yet to release an album since 2016’s ‘Anti’. Her last song was 2022’s ‘Lift Me Up’ for the Black Panther: Wakanda Forever soundtrack – it was also her first song as a lead artist since ‘Anti’.

Recently, Rihanna shared details on her upcoming ‘R9’ LP. In April, the star said she had material she felt she “could make hits out of”. Additionally, she told Extra that she felt the album would represent “the evolution” of her sound.

In July, she spoke about the delay of her ninth record, saying she was “starting over” and “rediscovering” what she wanted ‘R9’ to be like.

In other news, Eilish has recently said that she never wants to talk about her sexuality and love life publicly “ever again” after revealing in an interview last year that she was attracted to women.

Eilish will head to the UK and Ireland next summer, with that portion of the ‘Hit Me Hard And Soft’ tour including six nights at London’s O2, you can visit here for any remaining North American tickets, and here for UK/Ireland tickets.

Eilish’s ‘Hit Me Hard And Soft’ scored a four-star review, with Thomas Smith writing for NME: “‘Hit Me Hard and Soft’ remains distinctly unique, a portrait of a singular talent entering young adulthood, exploring her queerness and experiencing the emotional thrill and (sometimes) catastrophe of chasing passion or falling in love. In trying to write an album for herself, she’s made one that will resonate harder than anything she’s done before.”
