Pet Shop Boys want to work with Cardi B.
The “West End Girls” hitmakers, consisting of Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe, were thrilled to learn that the “WAP” singer was a fan of their music and wanted to get into the studio with them, but she argued that action needed to be taken. that it happens.
Regarding her being a fan of Cardi B, Neil told Rolling Stone:
“There was a great moment when she turned to this guy who was an American comedian on one of the chat shows. [John Mulaney on ‘The Tonight Show’, in 2018] She said, “You look like the Pet Shop Boys.” And the guy on the cover of “Discography'' looked a little like me. He wore a shirt and tie, and her mother probably had a “discography.” It was a great moment, but I haven't been able to collaborate with him yet. ”
“The world is waiting” to collaborate with Cardi, Neil said, adding, “I think so. But I think the ball is in her court.”
Last year, Neil accused Drake of using an unauthorized sample of 'West End Girls' on his latest album 'For All the Dogs', but the matter was quickly resolved.
He said, “I was driving home from the grocery store when I got a call from my brother, and his nephew, who is a fan of Drake, said, “Oh, Neil told me that “West End Girls'' is on Drake's new album.'' Do you know?'' he said. ? ” So I stopped the car and played it on Spotify.
“I thought maybe I agreed to this because I get so many requests, but I thought I’d keep this in mind.
“I emailed my manager and she said, ‘No, I don’t agree with this.’ So I posted it on social media because I thought this was the best way to get everyone’s attention.
“Within 15 minutes, our representatives received a call from Drake officials and they were very apologetic. In fact, they said Drake wanted to talk to them. In the end, we never spoke to him, but everything about publishing was sorted out. ”
And they're actually fans of Drake's version, which is featured on the song “All the Parties.”
Neil added, “But I like the way he sings it! I really like this song.”
Chris said, “I want to know how Drake gets that vocal sound, because I want to hear you sing like that.''
His bandmates agreed. “Well, it seems like we'll never figure it out. We need to know his trick. What is it, how does he do it? It's a little bit of his AutoTune, right? ”
