The Umbrella hitmaker is hoping to team up with her fellow pop star to work on some new material after Smith previously praised Rihanna and declared how much he admires her music.

She tells British newspaper The Sun on Sunday, "He is so talented. It would be amazing to work with him. No mater how busy we are, when two artists want to work together they make it happen. He is such a beautiful songwriter, but more important than that he is an absolutely beautiful person, and that comes across in his songs."
