Demi Lovato has named Paramore frontwoman Hayley Williams as her “dream” collaborator in a new interview.Speaking to Zane Lowe on Apple Music 1, Lovato revealed that the sound of her eighth album ‘Holy Fvck’ – out tomorrow (August 19) – had been inspired by ’00s female artists such as Kelly Clarkson and Ashlee Simpson.She cited the former’s 2004 hit ‘Since U Been Gone’ as “one influence that really changed where I wanted to go directionally”, hailing the single as “a monster record”.“And I saw the transformation of [Clarkson] as an artist go from R&B soul pop to pop rock,” Lovato continued. “And I was like, wait, that’s what I want to do.” The star would later go on to discover bands like Paramore and Flyleaf.“I’ve known Hayley [Williams] since… I think I met her when I was 15,” Lovato told Lowe.“I had a lot of people pulling for me that I didn’t necessarily talk to.
