Pharrell Williams wants to make an album with Lindsay Lohan.

Lindsay claims the American music star is desperate to collaborate on her next record, the follow up to her upcoming record "Spirit in the Dark".

The 22-year-old actress said: "Pharrell Williams is an amazing guy. He's only been really kind to me whenever I've met him. He said, 'I'd love to make a great record with you, but I want to take you out of all the elements that you're used to. Let's go away. Let's go somewhere nice where you can be focused, and let's make an album there.'

"I really respected that because not only is it hard for someone to just say something like that, it's nice that, as much as I admire him, he would even take the time to say that to me. But it's true. That's what it takes."

Lindsay's pop career started with her recording songs for the films she starred in, including "Herbie: Fully Loaded" and "Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen".

She then released two albums "Speak" in 2004 and "A Little More Personal (Raw)" in 2005.

"Spirit in the Dark" is rumoured to be a star-studded affair with a host of guest appearances, including Ne-Yo, Akon, Snoop Dogg, 50 Cent, Kanye West and Timbaland.
