In an interview with the French radio station RFM, the American recording artist said he hopes to contribute to Daft Punk's next record.

"I love them," Lionel Richie told the interviewer, adding that he was originally going to be on the French electronic music duo's previous album, "Random Access Memories," released in 2013. The Motown legend said his touring schedule ultimately prevented the collaboration from happening.

"But I think the next album they do I'm going to be right front and center," he concluded.

While awaiting the next Daft Punk record, fans can listen to the band's new single "Gust of Wind," recorded with Pharrell Williams and released this week.

Lionel Richie will next perform at the Life is Beautiful Festival in Las Vegas on October 25.
