Rihanna says it would be "amazing" to collaborate with Sam Smith.

The singer revealed her admiration for the Brit in an interview with The Sun.

She said: "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."

Rihanna meanwhile last week unveiled her new single 'Bitch Better Have My Money'.

The tune instantly topped the US iTunes chart after it was released digitally.

The track is expected to feature on the singer's upcoming new album, which should land later this year.
