Iggy Azalea wants Tinashe for her new album.
The pair previously collaborated on a remix of the latter's single 'All Hands On Deck' but Iggy has now revealed she's hoping to work with the R&B star again for her upcoming second album.
She teased on Twitter: "I would like to work with you again too @Tinashe... you're awesome. My album this time? (sic)."
Meanwhile the 25-year-old rapper is racing ahead with the LP and updated her fans on its progress by admitting she's already posed for the cover art.
In another tweet, she added: "STUFF IS HAPPENING PEOPLE. BRB.
"in addition to the aforementioned "stuff"... I shot my album cover today and im really excited. (sic)."
And the 'Fancy' hitmaker recently gave an update on the record, which she confessed she's been working on with D.R.U.G.S. - which stands for Dirty Rotten Underground Sound - who produced her 2011 debut mixtape 'Ignorant Art'.
She said: "I just been doing my whole album with the guys I did my first mixtape with actually, and we're almost finished and it's been super cool working with my whole friends."

Will Smith is planning to do a world tour next year.
The 47-year-old rapper, who has just released his first song in over a decade, is keen to reunite with his former partner DJ Jazzy Jeff for a number of gigs around the globe.
Speaking to Zane Lowe for Beats 1 Radio, he said: "Jeff and I actually have never done a full tour. I was always on 'The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air' or making a movie."
He added: "I'm looking this summer to be the first time we go out on a full world tour. I'm terrified."
The handsome actor, who has three children Trey, 22, Jaden, 17, and Willow, 14, from two different marriages, was inspired to return to music while shooting his forthcoming thriller 'Suicide Squad' and has admitted he's penned around 30 new songs recently following his 10-year hiatus.
He explained: "I've been away doing some other stuff. Making kids and stuff. You know, it takes a little bit of your attention away. I'm at the beginning of this process. Shaking the rust off, knocking the dust off."
Meanwhile, Will - who has four Grammy awards under his belt - released his remix of the Bomba Estéreo's 'Fiesta', which sees him rap in English and Spanish, last week.

Sir Tom Jones thinks modern music is "s**t".
The 'Delilah' hitmaker is unimpressed with the current crop of musical talent and believes he would have no problem becoming a star if he was just starting out in music now as modern stars are no match for classic artists like Elvis Presley.
Asked if he would have the same success if he started singing now, he said: "Definitely. With the s**t that's around now, no problem! I was up against Elvis Presley, Janis Joplin ... the British thing was huge then so to be successful at that time was tough."
However, the 75-year-old star is a fan of some new acts and praised Tori Kelly who was famously rejected on 'American Idol' before forging her own career.
He revealed: "I like Bruno Mars, and Tori Kelly - the best female around today, of the new female singers she's the best. Truly great. She did try 'The X Factor' and [Simon] Cowell said no, he hated her voice. There's proof right there - if he hates it, it's great. She plays great guitar, she's a great looking chick and she sings like an angel. She can sing like Jessie J, all the vocal tricks. And she writes, too."
Meanwhile, he revealed he would be up to record a new James Bond theme tune following the success of 1965's 'Thunderball' but hasn't yet listened to Sam Smith's effort for 'Spectre', 'Writing's On The Wall'.
Asked if he would sing a new Bond song, he told The Guardian newspaper: "Yes. With the right song, yes. I think the songs are different now though. When I recorded 'Thunderball', it fit Sean Connery. It was a macho song for a macho James Bond at the time. I like Sam Smith and I'm looking forward to hearing his song."

Charlie Simpson has rejoined Busted.
Charlie quit the rock/pop band in 2005 and insisted he would never return, but he has reportedly already agreed to come back and is in discussions with his former bandmates Matt Willis and James Bourne about an arena tour next year.
A source told The Sun newspaper: "Busted are re-forming by the end of the year and Charlie is part of the band again. It's amazing because Matt and James have always said there's more chance of pigs flying than Charlie coming back to Busted.
"But this is something that has been secretly discussed for a number of months - it was important the three guys felt they could work together again and get along as friends."
Over the past few years Matt and James have enjoyed huge success after joining forces with McFly to form supergroup McBusted and insiders believe Charlie has been tempted back after seeing how well his former bandmates are doing.
The insider added: "Obviously McBusted's success, including financially, must have had something to do with Charlie's decision."
Although Busted had a bitter split, Charlie revealed last year that the trio had gotten their friendship back on track.
He explained: "I went for a long time keeping completely out of touch with Matt and James, but now that they are doing music again, we've got in touch and it's really nice. We used to be really close when we were younger, it's nice to have that relationship back again."

Hozier is suing Chilly Gonzales.
The 25-year-old singer/songwriter has started legal action against the musician after the latter accused him of plagiarism with his hit single 'Take Me To Church'.
Chilly, 43, recently commented on the similarities between the multi million-selling song and a track by his former collaborator Feist titled 'How Come You Never Go There'.
However, Hozier's manager Caroline Downey has hit back at the allegations which she has slammed as being "groundless" and told the Irish edition of The Sunday Times newspaper that Hozier intends to pursue legal action.
In a clip posted on YouTube by Chilly, which has since been deleted, he described the track as "the exact same thing" as Feist's 2011 track.
He said: "This sounds quite familiar to me, I must say.
"This very slow and noble triple time and those sad chords. I think I know what it might be.
"It's almost the exact same thing. That's a crazy coincidence that my good friend and musical little sister Feist with her song 'How Come You Never Go There' had the exact same idea to use those chords and that slow triple time as Hozier. What are the chances?
"I'm being told by the research staff that Feist's track came out well over a year before Hozier's. Doesn't look so good does it? 'Take Me To Church'? Maybe Feist should take him to court."

Seal's new album is all about love.
The 'Kiss From A Rose' hitmaker - who split from his model wife Heidi Klum in 2012 - is gearing up to release '7' next month (06.11.15) on which he's tried to portray all of the intricacies of being in love.
He explained: "The album concerns the most sung about, most talked about, and most documented emotion - love.
"I tried to capture all of the wonderfully different dynamics of love, whether it's the anger, the acceptance, the bliss, the sadness, the elation, or the recklessness. It's this emotion and the ways it makes us feel. It's about the extreme joy and the extreme regret as well as all of the crazy things love makes us do."
The 52-year-old musician - who has kids Leni, 11, Henry, 10, Johan, eight, and Lou, five, and is reportedly expecting another child with his girlfriend Erica Packer - has once again worked with his long-term collaborator Trevor Horn on the LP but insisted they are so close they don't even need to speak about music when they're in the studio together.
He said: "We barely spoke about music in the studio.
"We talked more about life and our relationship over the years. He just understands how to place my voice. On the one hand, you have this elaborate production and signature of Trevor Horn, but you never lose sight of what it is I'm saying. That's the narrative. There's no producer who understands how to sustain and keep focused on the narrative of my voice and what I'm trying to say better than Trevor does. He pushes me, and we left it all on the court. He taught me a work ethic and approach to making records that will stay with me until the day I die."

Slash is set to star in a bizarre "dark fairytale" movie.
The iconic guitarist is the latest musician to join the strange 'Gutterdämmerung' film, which has been described as a "rock 'n' roll/film/gig concept" from visual artist Bjorn Tagemose.
The Guns N' Roses rocker will appear alongside Grace Jones, Lemmy, Iggy Pop, Justice, Josh Homme and other famous faces in the movie, which will involve the stars in a strange quest to find the "Phallic tool of eternal torment".
Despite a long list of musicians set to feature in the 1920's Hollywood-inspired film, it will be silent apart from a lone piano and live rock band.
The film will tell the story of a world saved of sin, including sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll, which has the Devil's guitar introduced once again by a "punk-angel" called Vicious, played by Iggy Pop.
However Henry Rollins will play an evil puritan priest who persuades a girl to retrieve and destroy a guitar sent down to earth, with the youngster battling against well-known rockers and a rival woman determined to prevent her destroying the instrument.
The film will tour with a live band and narrator in 2016.

Tickets to Glastonbury sold out in 32 minutes.
More than 118,000 tickets to the annual music festival were sold in less than half an hour on Sunday (04.10.15) with eager fans snapping up the chance to secure their place at the world-renowned event.
A spokesperson said: "We have, once again, been staggered by the sheer number of people from around the world who hoped to come to the festival, with demand significantly outstripping supply."
However the huge demand meant thousands were left disappointed as they failed to get tickets.
The spokesperson continued: "We're sorry to all of those who missed out. We really wish we could fit you all in.
"But there will be a resale of any returned tickets in the spring, and registration will open again in the next few days. Thank you for your incredible support."
The festival - held on Worthy Farm in south west England - will run from June 22-26 2016 with Coldplay and Adele the favourite acts to headline.
Foo Fighters are also expected to perform after being forced to pull out of their set this year due to frontman Dave Grohl breaking his leg.
The 2015 event saw headline performances from The Who, Florence + the Machine and Kanye West.

Fleur East's new single will show her "cheeky" side.
The 27-year-old singer has announced the release of her debut single 'Sax' and revealed the naughty track will give people a taste of what to expect from her album, due next month.
She said: "I always knew that 'Sax' would be the first single. It's fun, cheeky and a song that people can move to. It's indicative of the sound that's on the new album - a salute to old school with a modern twist.
"I'm excited for people to hear it and hope they love it as much as I do."
Fleur reached the finals of 'The X Factor' last year and will now go head-to-head with the show's winner Ben Haenow with the release of her single (23.10.15), just a fortnight after his first single 'Second Hand Heart' (09.10.15).
But it's not the first track Fleur has recorded since leaving the signing competition last year, as she recently recorded a rendition of Alicia Keys' 'Girl On Fire' for Virgin Media's latest advert promoting their new Vivid 200Mbps broadband.
Speaking about the cover, she commented: "I have always been a huge fan of Alicia Keys - I covered her songs when I was on last year's 'The X Factor'. Covering 'Girl On Fire' for the new Virgin Media ad has been so much fun - my original material on the new album is mostly upbeat so covering a ballad has been a good change. I am privileged to cover someone as iconic as Alicia and that relates to inspirational women too."
