Since it's release, REVIVAL has gotten many great reviews from Marshall's fans. However, we're now learning some of the secret occurrences that went down during the recording of the album. In an interview with This is 50, longtime Eminem producer Denaun Porter revealed an interesting fact about the first single from the album "Walk On Water."

As we all know by now, "Walk On Water" features Beyoncé. However, she wasn't the singer that Eminem had in mind, during the beginning processes of making the track. It's turns out that Adele was supposed to sing on it. 

"I think some things happened with her with her voice, and she couldn't do it," Porter recalled. "So it was a thing where we tried that... But, then it got to them using Beyoncé. My mind was already there. There's only a couple people that could pull that off."

Listen to Porter speak about this at the 2:40 mark below.
