Rising Australian electronic producer & soul singer Chet Faker has teamed up with Flume to premiere their new collaboration Drop The Game.
The track is the duo’s second collaboration, with their first venture appearing on Flume’s groundbreaking debut self-titled LP; Drop The Game however takes things up several notches, particularly the visual itself which features US dancer Storyboard P.

Drop The Game is taken from the duo’s collaborative EP The Lockjaw, set to land 26th November; check the full video below, courtesy of NPR.

British sensation Adele has turned down a reported $19m sponsorship deal with cosmetics giant L’Oreal.

L’Oreal is gobsmacked that she turned down such a huge amount.”
Adele is currently working away on her third studio album, the follow-up to debut 19 and worldwide smash 21. The album does not have a confirmed release date as of yet.

A new track from Britney Spears’ forthcoming album Britney Jean has leaked online.
The song, Alien, features writing credits by Charli XCX and produced by William Orbit, both of which come apparent the second you press play.
It’s an interesting choice of a track; a strong track by all accounts, and potentially sees Spears in her Madonna-esque Ray Of Light phase (no doubt helped by the Orbit production).
