Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo have pushed musical barriers, challenging preconceptions about electronic music and constantly leaving fans completely in the dark about what they’ll come up with next. After three years after their last studio release, Random Access Memories, Daft Punk were featured on The Weeknd’s “Starboy”, now get ready for another R&B/Dance collaboration from the pair.
In a recent interview with The Wall Street Journal , The Weeknd has confirmed a second collaboration with the Legends. Talking to The Wall Street Journal , The Weekend said :
“Their studio is like a spaceship, there’s a lot of gear. But the way they make music, the way they explain it, is very cinematic. It’s like they’re reading a page out of a novel —‘We want to make sure that at the end, it feels like the sun’s coming up, and maybe there’s a car chase.’ They can get technical, but it was interesting how they visualize making music.”
It’s official now , that two of the 18 tracks on Starboy are written with dance legends Daft Punk.
The Weeknd’s highly anticipated album arrives November 25, 2016. Stay tuned!
