Australian star Flume and New Zealand newcomer Lorde are set to hit the studio together to work on new music, making public plans on Twitter to collaborate.
In little over a year, Australian producer Harley Streten has risen from bedroom producer to performing stadiums to up to 10,000 people, while teen singer Lorde is one of the most exciting new pop artists in 2013. After a New Zealand journalist floated the idea of a collaboration between the two, the duo took to Twitter to lay down initial plans to work together.
Flume tweeted:
Hey @lordemusic I got your message from @coupdemain , great idea, lets write some music together 😊

To which Lorde replied simply (in reference, perhaps, to the title of Miley Cyrus' recently announced album title):
“@flumemusic: Hey @lordemusic I got your message from @coupdemain , great idea, lets write some music together 😊” bangerzzz

Listen to Lorde's new single 'Royals' below:
Lorde is set to release her debut album, Pure Heroine, on 28 October 2013 in the UK and follows huge success in America, where her single 'Royals' and Love Club EP are both inside the iTunes Top Ten.
Flume is no stranger to collaborations, having teamed up early in 2013 to record a number of new tracks with fellow Australian star Chet Faker, even if Faker admitted he was unsure who the tracks were recorded for.
"We haven't really decided what we're doing with that yet," the 'Terms & Conditions' star told Gigwise. "We went away for a week at the start of the year, down to the beach in Australia and just recorded a bunch of stuff. I don't think we really had a plan, we just locked ourselves away and wrote a bunch of tracks.
"We haven't even figured out yet whether it will be Flume and Chet Faker or a side project. I'm not really sure."
