Billie Eilish set for Tyler, The Creator collaboration?


Billie Eilish could be set to collaborate with Tyler, The Creator.
The 17-year-old singer received high praise from the ‘EARFQUAKE’ hitmaker earlier this week in which he said he’d love to work with the star one day, as he said he doesn’t care if their future collaboration is “trash” because he just wants to “see what [they] could do”.
Speaking in an interview with Zane Lowe for Apple Music’s Beats 1 Radio on Thursday (18.07.19), the 28-year-old rapper said: “Until Billie Eilish f**k me up next week. That b***h is big. That n**** came from nowhere. I think it’s sick. I like her. I just want her to keep doing her God damn thing. I want to work with her. I don’t know what the f**k we would make. Even if it don’t come out, if it’s trash, I still just want to see what we could [do].”
And the ‘Bad Guy’ hitmaker quickly responded to Tyler’s comments on her Instagram account, saying she would be “nothing” without his music.
She wrote: “lmfaoooooo i would never in a billion years have thought these words would come out of this mans mouth. wow. i would be nothing without you tyler.. everyone knows it (sic)”
Meanwhile, Billie previously mentioned Tyler as one of her biggest idols alongside the likes of Avril Lavigne, Lana Del Rey, and Childish Gambino.
She said: “Avril was everything to me, I love Avril. I only love her. There’s nothing else there, just love.
“There is almost no other artist like that. Her, Tyler, Gambino, [Justin] Bieber made me and Lana, probably.
“They made me. I would not be me. [Avril] has my number though and she texts me sometimes, it’s so cool. She’ll be like: ‘Hey babe it’s Avril’. Oh my God.”

LEON wants Katy Perry collaboration


LÉON would “love to” collaborate with Katy Perry.
The ‘Falling’ singer received a shout out from Katy in 2015 when the 34-year-old singer described her as “one to watch”, and LÉON has now said she’d love to work with Katy on a track in the future.
Speaking exclusively to BANG Showbiz, the Swedish singer said: “I would never turn down a collaboration with Katy Perry, I would love to. We are such different artists but I would not say no. It depends on what it would be for, never say never.”
And the rising star – whose real name is Lotta Lindgren – still finds it surreal to have received the praise from Katy, who tweeted a link to her song ‘Tired of Talking’ four years ago, and said it was her “song of the day”.
She said: “It’s just crazy that she discovered my music. I guess everything is so global now, but I have no idea how she found out.
“She is great. The fact she did that meant so much. She always does that with a lot of up-and-coming artists.
“I think it’s really cool that she is willing to shine a light on smaller artists that just started.”
LÉON says the ‘Chained To The Rhythm’ hitmaker now follows her on social media, and although the pair don’t know each other personally, she thinks Katy is a “good gal”.
She added: “She started to follow me on Instagram and sometimes she will like my posts. I met her one time and she is a good gal. I don’t know her, but she is great.”
The ‘Baby Don’t Talk’ singer released her self-titled debut studio album in March this year, and says she can no longer listen to the tracks, because she thinks she’ll find imperfections within them.
She said: “I can’t listen to the album now. It’s weird because I listened to it all the time and two weeks before it came out, I stopped listening to it and I don’t listen to it anymore. That is the case for a lot of artists, of course. I will just hear everything, it’s hard to let go.”

The Streets release new single with Flohio


The Streets have released a new single titled ‘How Long’s It Been?’.
The hip hop music group’s frontman Mike Skinner has teamed up with Flohio to release the new track under The Streets’ name, which recorded in collaboration with Cognac manufacturer Hennessy, as part of their Masters of Potential project in association with Abbey Road Studios.
Speaking about working with Flohio, Mike – who also produced the track – said in a statement: “Flohio’s energy is insane. She adds colour to a quite serious trap energy and makes something just as unpredictable and homespun as anyone from Atlanta. She has the juice on stage.”
Hennessy’s Masters of Potential project challenges musicians to create and record one-off moments live-to-vinyl at the iconic Abbey Road Studios.
The Streets and Flohio’s collaboration comes after two previous collaborations under the project from JP Cooper and Kojoey Radical, and Krept and Konan with Slaves.
‘How Long’s It Been?’ is the first release from The Streets since 2018, following the smash ‘Call Me In The Morning’ featuring Chip and Grim Sickers.
The track arrives ahead of The Streets’ upcoming collaborative mixtape, which is due out later this year, and is one of two albums the ‘Dry Your Eyes’ hitmakers are currently working on.
Mike, 40, recently revealed that alongside the mixtape, he’s also working on the soundtrack for a film about a DJ, which he worked on last year, and which won’t be released until 2020.
He said: “One of the reasons that I started it again is because I’ve written a film, which is about a DJ. And the album that I’ve written is kind of a musical; it’s part of the film.
“While that’s happening, I’m doing a mixtape, which is a collaborations album – and that will be out hopefully at the end of the summer. That’s kind of like a Streets duet album.”

Wayne Coyne will team up with Miley Cyrus again


The Flaming Lips’ Wayne Coyne will collaborate with Miley Cyrus again.
The 58-year-old musician previously teamed up with Miley when she lent her vocals to Flaming Lips track ‘Oczy Mlody’ in 2017, and Wayne has now said she’s likely to feature on more songs in the future, because her close friendship with his wife Katy Weaver – with whom he has a one-month-old son – means they often spend time together.
Speaking to the Daily Mirror newspaper, he said: “Her best friend is my wife, there’s a lot of time spent together. They can be gallivanting around town or whatever, and I could be in the studio getting something together.
“At the end of the night she could run in for an hour and we’d do two or three tracks. I loved that way of working, there was enthusiasm and joy involved.
“We are still great friends, I’m always making a record. I mean, I always have three or four things happening at the same time. I think she knew that.
“If we’re going to be friends and hang out together, we’re going to end up making a record. That’s just what I do.”
Wayne’s comments come after he said last year he wanted to make a vinyl out of the ‘Malibu’ hitmaker’s pee.
The rocker helped produce Miley’s 2015 project ‘Miley Cyrus & Her Dead Petz’, and said he wanted the next album of hers he worked on to be made of a mixture of the star’s urine and glitter.
Wayne – whose band used beer and human blood for their records – said: “You can’t really up the ante too much from human blood, but maybe when the beer is your own beer – the beer was made especially for the Flaming Lips and has our influence in its taste and colour.
“That’s not as insane as having a little bit of Erykah Badu, and Chris Martin’s blood in your records. Probably not as insane as that, but still pretty great.
“The next record we were talking about releasing was the Miley Cyrus and the Dead Petz record. We’d get a good amount of Miley’s pee and mix it with some glitter and put that in. I think that would up the ante. Don’t you?”
