Demi Lovato opened up about the biggest influences for her new album Holy Fvck and her dream collaboration in a new radio interview, via NME.

The "Substance" singer named Paramore frontwoman Hayley Williams as her dream collaborator. ā€œIā€™ve known Hayley [Williams] sinceā€¦ I think I met her when I was 15,ā€ she shared adding, "I didnā€™t get to know her that well butā€¦sheā€™s one of my biggest influences." Later, she gushed over the singer's powerhouse vocals. ā€œVocally ā€“ oh my God. I mean, sheā€™s still my dream collaboration. Itā€™s never happened, but sheā€™s still my dream collaboration. To be honest, I gave up on that dream collaboration. So I didnā€™t say it for years, but thatā€™s always been my dream collaboration.ā€

Elsewhere in the interview, Lovato revealed some of the biggest influences for her soon-to-be-released album ā€” Kelly Clarkson and Ashlee Simpson. She said Clarkson's '00s hit song "Since U Been Gone" was ā€œone influence that really changed where I wanted to go directionallyā€ and called it a "monster record." The singer then detailed how Clarkson's music influenced the new shift in her music. ā€œAnd I saw the transformation of [Clarkson] as an artist go from R&B soul pop to pop rock,ā€ she explained. ā€œAnd I was like, wait, thatā€™s what I want to do.ā€ Holy Fvck is set to release on Friday, August 19.
