Miley Cyrus and Flaming Lips frontman Wayne Coyne have struck up a surprising partnership, having already resulted in multiple releases.

Joining The Flaming Lip on yet another psychedelic track, Miley Cyrus embraces the trippy synths, harmonising with Wayne Coyne to project their euphoric friendship.

With a busy beat, 'We A Family' sees The Flaming Lips incorporate more electronic drums, as if they’re indulging in the remnants of trap.

The strings placed on the choruses add a euphoric tone to the already energetic track.

Taking a leaf out of Miley Cyrus’ book, Wayne and co delve more into making a beat that would work for a Miley Cyrus track, truly making it their own by overriding the base beat with psych synths and trippy tones.

Infectious and euphoric, 'We Are Family' is a perfect representation of how the pair came to create a surprising friendship, and a bond that appears to stay strong through their music.

Flaming Lips' album Oczy Mlody is out on 13 January and you'll be able to hear the high defnition full version of this Miley Cyrys collaboration.
