Listen Out Headliners Disclosure & Azealia Banks Are Recording Together

Staff Writer

They will share more than just a festival bill come October.

More Azealia Banks Azealia Banks Profile

Two of the most hyped names in modern music right now - and two of the headliners of this year's inaugural Listen Out parties - Disclosure and Azealia Banks, are working together in the studio, Banks confirmed via Twitter overnight.

It's far from surprising that the prodigious British electronic duo and the fiery, Harlem bred rapper would come together, Disclosure' recently released – and critically lauded – LP Settle features them in collaboration with a number of hip vocalists including AlunaGeorge (who also plays ListenOut), Jessie Ware, Jamie Woon and Eliza Doolittle.

While we have no idea what the session was for, Banks does have her long-awaited debut LP Broke with Expensive Taste set for release through Interscope later this year, so one might expect it is related to that. No matter how its released, we can't wait to hear it.
