Maybe Bey Bey was trying to tell us something about her new musical direction when she popped up at Cochella on her indie rock flow to support the hubby last year. Elctro-funk-hip-hop DJ/and producer Diplo just revealed he is one of people Beyonce has recruited for her super secret fourth solo album and that new genre she’s creating . On Monday (Jan. 24), Diplo — who is best known for his work with M.I.A. and as one-half of the duo Major Lazer (with longtime collaborator Switch) — revealed that he, Beyoncé, and Derek of the indie electro-pop duo Sleigh Bells recently recorded music together in a New York studio. “I like sleigh bells so much,” Diplo wrote on the blog for his label imprint, Mad Decent. “Me and switch was in studio in nyc tryin to make tracks with derek and beyonce last week after we played her team their album…dunno if we gonna manage to finish but it was good times.” Sleigh Bells appeared to corroborate Diplo’s post with a somewhat crytpic message their Twitter page: “yeah damn beyonce on it was intense track may not get finished (?) but we finished the rum off at least” Who is Sleigh Bells? They’re a “noise pop” duo out of Brooklyn that looks like this… And sounds like this when they work with Diplo… Do you think Beyonce can pull this sound off? Source
