Daft Punk to Feature on Kanye West’s Upcoming Album?


Pharrell isn’t the only hip-hop star Daft Punk have been working with. According to Rolling Stone, the French electro-funk duo also linked up with Kanye West in Paris recently to work on his upcoming solo album. Apparently two songs were crafted during the session — one which sounds “solid and powerful” and evokes the image of a cube, says director and Daft Punk compatriot Michel Gondry. He also says Kanye told him a video for said song is already being produced, which suggests the track could well appear on his LP.

At their Paris studio, [Daft Punk] laid down a combination of live and programmed drums while Kanye worked out rough vocals on the fly. “It was very raw: he was rapping – kind of screaming primally, actually,” Thomas [Bangalter] says. “Kanye doesn’t give a fuck,” Guy-Manuel [de Homem-Christo] adds. “He’s a good friend.” Director (and longtime Daft Punk compatriot) Michel Gondry says that Kanye recently played him “two songs” that sprang from the session. “One of them, I told him it sounded solid and powerful – I envisioned a cube when I heard it,” Gondry says. “He told me, Chris Cunningham’s already directing the video!”

Daft Punk’s first album since 2005, Random Access Memories, is due out May 21. Like always, details surrounding ‘Ye’s new album are a little harder to come by.
