With their studio album Caracal out in two days, Disclosure have shared one the record’s most hotly-anticipated tracks, Magnets, their new collaboration with Lorde.
The track, which marks the first time both Disclosure and Lorde have worked together since their joint appearance at 2014’s BRIT Awards, received its premiere by Zane Lowe on his Beats 1 earlier today, and hears a funkier side to Lorde – something which may seem fairly alien to those used to the singer’s darker Royals sound.
Last month, Disclosure’s Guy Lawrence discussed the collaboration with SPIN Magazine, saying:
“I didn’t realize how many fans we share. I’m really excited for her fan base to hear it as well as ours because it’s a really big collab, not just like in terms of her singing on a Disclosure tune but the whole thing is a collab, from the drum sounds to the chords. She was involved with every aspect of the song as opposed to just doing the lyrics and melodies and then leaving the rest to us. It was like someone challenging us, someone saying, ‘We can get that extra ten percent.’ The best thing about it is its simplicity. It’s just a load of tribal drums. It’s the shortest song we’ve ever made as Disclosure as well.”
Cop a listen to Magnets in full below; meanwhile Caracal lands on 25th September and can be preordered via the iTunes / Apple Music links – what’s more, preorder the collection and Magnets will appear on your device when the clock strikes midnight tonight!
