Pete Wentz wants Rihanna on the new Fall Out Boy album.
In an interview with Billboard, Pete reveals that – while there are no guests on the recently pushed back ‘M A N I A’ yet, he’s been chasing down the singer for over a decade now.
He also explains the variety of influences on the band’s new material. “The thing I point to now more than anything is we’re listening to a lot more music happening worldwide,” he says. “The thing I love about the globalization of music is I’m listening to beats that this kid in Lagos made… that would have never happened before.”
“That’s what our band needs,” he continues, “a foot in the future and a foot in the past… To balance the record. What’s interesting with Fall Out Boy is we have guitar, drums and bass, but we’re finding ways to incorporate other ideas. What I liked about The Clash was how they used and twisted those influences.”
‘M A N I A’ is set for release ion 19th January 2018.
