NELLY FURTADO WANTS TO WORK WITH EMINEM

Nelly Furtado has revealed she would love to work with Eminem.

The Maneater singer said she would like to collaborate with the Lose Yourself rapper to find out how he ticks.

She said: "I would like to collaborate with creative people like Eminem, he's so creative and so out there, it'd be fun to see what that looks like in the studio - it would be interesting to see his creative process, I'd probably learn a lot so it would be a real learning experience."

Nelly would also like to work with Madonna.

"I think that would be really fun. Maybe for my next album," she added.

The Portuguese-Canadian star, who has worked with Timbaland, Justin Timberlake and James Morrison, counts working with Missy Elliott on the remix of Get Your Freak On among her favourite experiences in the studio.

"It was really early on in my career and it really opened a lot of doors for me in the hip-hop world," Nelly explained. "A lot of people hadn't heard about me until they saw the video and connected with it. That's one of my favourite collaborations, because 10 years later, I get producers telling me that it's one of their favourite ever. It was really special. That's the one I'm most proud of."

:: Nelly Furtado's new album, Mi Plan, is available now.
