4th Album Rumours Thread

[AntoineS]

I bet you anything that they , the featured artists, do not even know when the release is.... basically they accepted being a part of the new album, but without any knowledge of when it will be released...

They probably have some idea. Like, Paul was probably told by them it'd be out around June, but then things took a bit longer.

What do you make of this?

New interview with Todd Edwards:

"You were in the “Discovery” album by Daft Punk. Will you be in the next?

Thomas and Guy are geniuses in their own right. Each project they touch even on an individual basis has amazingly positive results. They are more than just producers. They are musical entrepreneurs. Their music is one of many elements revolving around a creative center. God puts people in the world to move us forward in technology, philosophy, art, etc. Thomas and Guy are definitely two people that were blessed with that purpose. I'm happy to call them my friends. I actually call them brothers. Being a part of “Discovery” was one of the high points in my career, and I will always be honored to work with them if they asked."


Wonderful quote, he really has nothing but praise for Daft Punk. However, he didn't really answer the question. Do you think that is because he IS working with them but can't say or do you think he isn't? To me it sounds like he isn't, but then he could have said so in a more clear way. I don't know.

[Crank729]

No, I don't think he is.

[Nik Strobe]

that quote is amazing, so true too. but i dont think he will be on the new album.

By saying "...if they asked", something tells me that he's not. Still, he might be, like Ridley said, he might be working, but he can't tell so.

By the way, Todd misspelled "God", it is spelled "Daft Punk"... just sayin'.

I think Todd Edwards is really saying "please guys! I love you! put me on you're new album! we'll be bffs for life!"

[something awesome]

Yeah. He won't be on it. But Face to Face was friggin awesome, so I hope they do in the future!

Uh-oh, the grammar police are gonna get me big time with that one...

[Champiness]

As awesome as it would be to have a Todd Edwards collab on top of all this other stuff, I don't really think they're on each other's radar at the moment. Todd emerged from the house/UK garage scene he helped create to do Face To Face, then quietly retreated back to it once the attention it garnered died down. Since then he's continued a pretty prolific output of quality work, but if he'd taken time off from that to do something with Thomas and Guy again I think it would be more obvious. For one thing he'd be pretty excited about it; he's really active on his Soundcloud page posting new tracks and commenting on other people's work. If Paul and Nile were too eager to keep from breaking the gag order on the new album I doubt someone with such frequent connection to his fanbase would be able to keep from at least dropping a few hints. Besides, he has a pretty constant schedule touring around doing DJ sets, and there haven't been any noticeable gaps where he might've been working with them.
Thanks for the interview though!
