Ian Brown: 'I'd Like To Finish Writing Song For Rihanna'

September 24, 2009
Ian Brown: 'I'd Like To Finish Writing Song For Rihanna'Ian Brown says he would like to complete the version of his single 'Stellify' he started writing for pop superstar Rihanna.

The Monkey Man, who releases his sixth solo album 'My Way' on September 28, originally penned the track for Rihanna but he ended up recording it himself.

In an interview with BBC6music, 46-year-old Brown admitted he'd like to revisit the song and complete the Rihanna version.

"I’d like to write songs for other people, I’d like to finish that Stellify for Rihanna, and I would like to get into that side of it," he said.

Brown also expressed his views on the Oasis split saying it was the right thing to do. He explained: "I think it's always bad when they get their dirty linen out in public.

"They have gone from scrapping in the carpet to scrapping in front of the world now, so I think (the split) will do them good in the long run. How much further could they take it really?"
