Sia says Rihanna turned down a track co-written by Adele for her new album Anti
- 9 years ago
Sia has claimed Rihanna snubbed the chance to record a track she wrote with Adele.
The song Alive - which the singer is releasing herself as her new single - was originally intended for Adele's upcoming 25 album, but it didn't make the cut.
Sia told Ryan Seacrest: "We wrote three songs in two days and none of them made the cut and this was one of them.
"I said to [Adele], 'Do you mind if I pitch it to, say, Rihanna?'
And she said, 'Yeah, but can you take my vocal off it because I don't want my vocal floating around out there on a demo'.
"So I went and re-cut the vocal and everybody in my life was like, 'You can't give this away to anybody'."
However, it seems RiRi "passed" on the song, although Sia has admitted it wasn't "really" her style.
She added: "Well actually I believe she did [get a chance to consider it] and she passed.
