It's been a major weekend for Daft Punk fans. A sneak peek teaser for their upcoming album Random Access Memories debuted at Coachella, offering fans more than a minute of new unreleased material, the fourth episode of the collaborator series featuring Pharell offered even more behind-the-scenes insight, and to top things off, a full version of their song "Get Lucky" has presumably leaked, however critics are still debating its validity. We know, we know. Now, amidst all the excitement, May 21 couldn't feel farther away.
Check out the tease video released during Coachella this past weekend below.
Thus far, The Collaborators interview series has informed fans of Daft Punk's meticulous editing process, their fine-tuned robot ears and the revolutionary approach to electronic music. The episodes have featured legends Giorgio Moroder, Todd Edwards and Nile Rodgers, and the most recent installment stars legendary producer/singer/songwriter Pharrell Williams who stars in the Coachella advertisement and the unofficially leaked song, "Get Lucky."
"The robots' music is the power to separate itself from all else that exists," Williams says in his opening statements. "They're not bound by time and space." He talks about how he first got in bed with the duo at a Madonna party and how their relationship flourished, resulting in the featured track "Get Lucky." Check out the full interview below.
Finally, probably some of the most exciting news for Daft Punk fans as of late, their first "single" called "Get Lucky" has presumably leaked and is now available for your listening pleasure on YouTube. Many fans claim that the version is a fake, using compiled snippets of previously released material to put together what sounds like a full version. No one's sure as of yet, but regardless, it at least gives fans an idea of what the official version could sound like. Give it a listen below and tell us what you think!
