Richard Ashcroft would love to pen big hits for Rihanna and Adele.
The Verve star, who scored major successes with The Drugs Don’t Work and Bitter Sweet Symphony, is hoping to return to the charts by penning hits for other artists.
“A big thing I want to do is write for other people,” he tells the Daily Star’s Wired column. “I want to know who writes for Rihanna and get an introduction.
“Adele would be great, but there’s big competition there. I like big hits. I write big melodies and big choruses. I like singers where you know the chorus will be heard by billions of people.
“That’s not for the dough, but the idea that you can get your melody heard by so many people.”
Richard’s also up for writing with Liam Gallagher, who appears on C’mon People, lifted from his new album ‘Acoustic Hymns Volume 1’.
“I’d love to write a song with Liam. If he’s up for it, I’m up for it,” he says. “I’ve got loads of ideas for what me and Liam could do and I’d love it if we had a bit more time to make it happen.”
