So if I understand correctly:
- they definitely recorded a duet for his album (maybe Everybody Loves You was intended for his album and not Stevie's?)
- he's is possibly still working with Stevie and producing her solo album (I believe it when I hear it from Stevie's mouth)

Sanne2, my understanding of Dave's comments is that he was (and perhaps still is) intending to make an album in collaboration with others
("I have been doing duets with different artists... And I’ve also just done a duet with Stevie Nicks") which the interviewer referred to as being an "
album with a bunch of super famous friends".
However, I think what Dave is attempting to say, in his usual vague and round-about way, is that he is working with an array of artists and that whatever comes of these collaborations is not yet certain. For example, the
"songs (Dave is)
writing or co-writing with other people" could be for other projects and that "
at the same time (he is)
always recording little sessions of songs myself, building up to having enough for a solo thing", for himself. He seems to be drawing a distinction between at least some of the collaborations and the songs he is writing on his own which would indicate that not all the "duets" will be for his album. We already know that he has stated that he is producing an album for Stevie so we know that this is yet another (separate) project for him. Dave himself seems a little confused about how all these various collaborations/projects will come together when he states
"... it’s all getting a bit busy".
With regard to the duet Dave and Stevie have recorded (most likely "Everybody Loves You"), I think this may have started out as a possible inclusion for his solo duets project but now might end up on Stevie's solo album and perhaps was the impetus for them continuing to work together on a whole album (of Stevie's). Regardless of whether he keeps this track for his own album or not, Stevie's solo album is definitely progressing with him at the helm.
