Cynthia Erivo Names Kendrick Lamar and Doechii As Dream Collaborators
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.”
