Dolly Records/RCA NashvilleWhen Dolly Parton‘s new album, Pure & Simple, comes out this Friday, look for the entertainment icon to do a little name-dropping, specifically referencing one British superstar with whom she’s particularly taken — Adele.
“I love her, love her, love her!” Parton tells Digital Spy. “Did you notice I used her name in one of the songs on the album? On ‘Head over High Heels,’ when I say, ‘I put on my tight dress, hair piled on my head, painting my lips red and my eyes like Adele!'”
Dolly confesses that she hopes the two get the chance to work together.
“I love her! I would love to do something with her… I love how she looks, I love how she sings, I love how she is,” says Parton. “I would love to do something with her. Maybe write a song? Maybe do a duet. So pass that word along!”
As the country legend counts down to the August 19 release of her new record, she’s just premiered the first in a series of videos in which she discusses each song. You can check out the one focusing on the title track now at Vimeo.com.
