Cynthia Erivo Names Kendrick Lamar and Doechii As Dream Collaborators

Dr. Dre and Mustard are also on Erivo’s collaboration bucket list.

Cynthia Erivo has her heart set on collaborations with Kendrick Lamar and Doechii.

The actress-singer, who releases her sophomore album, I Forgive You, on June 6, was a guest on Real 92.3 LA’s “The Cruz Show” and shared her hopes to work with the Top Dawg Entertainment icons. Around the 17-minute mark, she named Dr. Dre and Mustard as producers she wants to collaborate with before sharing her admiration for Kendrick as a “creative director.”

"I keep saying it over and over again, but I really mean it. Not just as a fan, but I think his work, his creativity, the way his brain works, I think, is sublime,” the “Wicked” actress shared.

As for Doechii, Erivo bumped into the rapper at various public events, including the 36th Annual GLAAD Media Awards in March. "She and I, I think, would really love it because the theatrics are there and the understanding of movement and sound,” Erivo said. “I just think we'll have a good time... Having met her several times at this point, she's just a really cool person.”

Until she collaborates with the rappers, fans can enjoy Erivo’s solo music, such as her singles “Worst of Me” and “Replay.”
