He also noted that if it weren’t for The Neptunes’ remix of ‘Harder Better Faster Stronger’, he “never would have had that connection’ with the duo to later work on ‘Random Access Memories’.Speaking on ‘Random Access Memories’, Pharrell said that he initially thought he was just going to be a songwriter on ‘Get Lucky’ and ‘Lose Yourself To Dance’, not realising that the vocals he had recorded for the tracks would end up being the final version instead of a demo intended for someone else to refer to.“I didn’t know who was gonna end up singing it.

Daft Punk‘s collaborator Todd Edwards has shared that he believed the duo “weren’t on the same page anymore.”As the latest guest on Memory Tapes, the official Daft Punk mini-documentary, created to celebrate the 10th anniversary of their fourth and final album, ‘Random Access Memories’, Edwards said: “When they broke up, they were already going in different directions, musically.”He continued: “Guy-Man[uel de Homem-Christo] seems to be drawn more to the hip-hop realm and Thomas [Bangalter] was also a director. It kind of felt like they weren’t on the same page anymore, anyway, so I wasn’t shocked.”Edwards first worked with Daft Punk back in 2001 on their track ‘Face to Face’ from the duo’s second LP ‘Discovery’ in which he provided vocals and co-production.

The Weeknd has revealed that he will no longer entertain the idea of features in his music career after he dropped a new song titled ‘Another One Of Me’.While performing at the PGE Narodowy in Warsaw, Poland earlier this week (August 9), the singer told fans he will not be doing anymore songs featuring other artists. “I just wanna say, this, this is gonna be the last feature I ever do, ever in my career, so I wanna perform it for you guys tonight,” he told the crowd.It is currently unclear who the track features and when it will be released.Two days later (August 11), The Weeknd took to Twitter to share a clip of the ‘Another One Of Me’ performance, adding that it will be his final feature “unless [Daft Punk] ever get back together”.Watch a clip of the performance below.the final feature… unless daft punk ever get back together pic.twitter.com/shpRFz7nnt— Abel Tesfaye (@theweeknd) August 11, 2023The Weeknd teamed up with Daft Punk on his 2016 ‘Starboy’ album, collaborating with them on the title track and ‘I Feel It Coming’.

We’re going to dress up like robots until the day we die…’,“I really remember thinking – it would be fun to just have some special effects guys from Hollywood do these personas – robotic personas like if they were part of the cantina scene in Star Wars or something like that,” he added.

Daft Punk have released a new video series titled ‘Memory Tapes’ that reflects on the creation of their final LP ‘Random Access Memories’.The series is made up of eight episodes that offer an inside look at the creation of the album as well as highlights from the various collaborators who were featured on the LP. The collaborators share their favourite memories and the impact both Daft Punk and the album have had on their music and careers.The first two episodes of Memory Tapes feature The Strokes’ frontman Julian Casablancas who collaborated with the French duo on ‘Instant Crush’ and pianist Chilly Gonzales who played on ‘Within’ and ‘Give Life Back To Music’.Upcoming episodes will include contributions from Pharrell Williams, Todd Edwards, DJ Falcon, Nile Rodgers and others.The interviews were conducted at Henson Studios in Los Angeles and Gang Studios in Paris which are two of the five spaces in which ‘Random Access Memories’ was recorded.
