Smashing Pumpkins mainman Billy Corgan is up for writing music with Miley Cyrus.

The alt-rock icon told OUI FM Rock Sessions that the 'Bangerz' star is "very talented".

He added that he has previously been asked to contribute songs to her team for consideration - something that Corgan is against.

However, the Smashing Pumpkins man would be happy to work with Cyrus on a one-to-one basis.

He said: "Actually I was asked recently to get involved [with Cyrus], but the problem is, and this is nothing against her, but that whole world in L.A. is they want you to write a bunch of songs, then the pop people pick through, ‘I want that one, I want that one'.

"I don’t do that. If she called me and said, ‘Would you write a song with me?’ I would consider it because again, she is very talented, and it would be a cool thing to explore, but I’m not going to write a song and sit by the fire, hoping that Miley will pick my song over the next stupid song."

Speaking more generally about today's mainstream pop scene, Corgan added:

"Pop music is the enemy, and I’m a pop artist, it’s okay, but pop music is the enemy when it becomes robotic, predictable, it looks happy, but it’s not happy at all, it’s kind of gross, shallow."

"It’s pornography. Music, in terms of pop music right now, is basically pornography. The videos are becoming more pornographic, the story behind the music is becoming more pornographic. Why? Because that the only move pop has, it can’t win on a qualitative basis."
