When talking about his new collaboration with the singer Pink that will appear on “Recovery,” the rapper’s upcoming seventh album, Eminem described her as a rebel.

Pink sings on “Won’t Back Down.” The track is available currently for fans to listen to over the internet.

Eminem said in an interview with Fearne Cotton from Radio 1, I have always had respect for her and her work.

When we were working on the track, I listened and knew that she would smash it vocally.

Also appearing on Eminem’s new album, due to be released on June 22, is Rihanna. She is featured on “Love The Way You Lie.”

Eminem said, The same with Rihanna as it was for Pink. The album is more special having her as part of it.

Eminem joined Cotton and played a set of two songs for a Radio 1 Live Lounge special. It was recorded at Maida Vale studio in London. Eminem played his single “Not Afraid” as well as “Stan,” his single from 2000 which was a Dido sample and mixed in a “Forever Means Forever” by Jason Derulo cover.

The rapper said I am in a lot better place now than a couple years ago and am in fantastic spirits.

In July, Eminem will be making his UK live return. He will have a headlining appearance for T In The Park. The gig will be his first in the UK since 2003.

I’m excited about getting back out and doing shows, Eminem said. Hitting the stage is a rush.
