Could Rihanna’s wish to work work work with Billie Eilish soon become reality?
Following Rihanna’s statement about wanting to work with the “Birds of a Feather” artist, Finneas shared that he is fully prepared to facilitate this collaboration.
He expressed his enthusiasm during the June 9th episode of ‘Score: The Podcast’. He and Billie are huge Rihanna fans, to put it mildly.
Indeed, the music producer has already mulled over potential ways for a situation like this to unfold.
If Rihanna invites us with “Come on over,” we’ll go, he asserted. When it comes to our work, if we think, “This would be fantastic if Rihanna could contribute,” we’ll strive to send it to her, no matter what the item is.
Yet, Finneas, aged 27, made it clear that he and Billie, aged 23, would embark on this venture only if they felt certain they possessed solid content for the project.
When someone is highly respected, there’s an added sense of caution, as if to say, ‘I value this individual’s time and perspective deeply.’ He went on to express that a possible collaboration would be incredibly exciting.
Previously, Rihanna (currently expecting her third child with A$AP Rocky) confessed that she has long harbored a desire to collaborate musically with the individual who has won the Oscar twice.
In an interview with Access Hollywood in October, the individual expressed, “I’d love to collaborate on a song with Billie Eilish. She’s incredibly talented.
Later on, Billie admitted that upon learning about the shoutout, she found it so hard to believe that her initial reaction was to think it might have been a machine-generated message instead.
In an interview with Complex last December, she expressed her deep admiration, saying ‘She’s more than just a role model for me, she’s my idol!’ She added that Rihanna is the best in the industry and a dream collaboration for her. However, when asked about potential collaborations, she usually doesn’t mention names, but Rihanna is always at the top of her list, even though she might not say it out loud.
