Sinead O'Connor to Write for Rihanna
25 March 2008
TAKE40.COM EXCLUSIVE
take40.com spoke exclusively with controversial Irish singer Sinead O'Connor today, and she revealed that she could soon be writing the next big hit for pop sensation Rihanna!
We asked Sinead what she thinks of covers and the whole songwriting biz. "You'll always have people singing other people's songs, like you know, Rihanna for example - she hasn't written that song (referring to her current hit 'Don't Stop the Music'), do you know what I mean?" Sinead said.
"In fact, I've been asked recently would I write some songs for her... so you know, zillions of people are singing other people's songs every day!"
What sort of song would you write for Rihanna?
"I actually have not the slightest idea," Sinead continued. "They want to send me some backing tracks that they've already put together so that'll be a great help...
But I've been studying her and I feel daunted actually by it because I don't know how to write pop songs, no matter how hard I try I cannot write a pop song you know... So it's a challenge but I have to do it coz my son is in love with her!"
Sinead, who had worldwide success in the early 90s with her hit 'Nothing Compares 2 U' (watch the video in Take 40 Number Ones HERE!), also told us she really doesn't like Westlife!
"One of the worst Irish bands ever is Westlife and they don't write their songs!" Ouch!
Sinead wraps up her Australian tour tonight in Melbourne, and she thinks Australia is, well.... pretty great....
"It's f***ing great... I love Australia, it's brilliant!"
