Daft Punk haven’t released an album since 2013’s massive Random Access Memories, but they’ve been keeping fans entertained with fancy merch and funky action figures in the meantime. But today, a video has emerged on where Wendy Goldstein, the EVP A&R for Republic Records, states to Billboard Magazine that both The Weeknd and Daft Punk are in the studio together.

In a Billboard roundtable discussion with other songwriters, A&Rs and executives, Goldstein revealed the information.
Responding to a question about artists they admire and hoped to one day work with, Goldstein answered: “We have a session coming up in two days [.] with The Weeknd and Daft Punk”. However that may be changing soon, as last week Abel Tesfaye posted a photo to Facebook that prominently features two figurines that look unmistakably like Daft Punk.
This is a surprising development for fans who are used to the secretive nature of Daft Punk’s recording. Or the group had a change of heart and is opening up their process a little bit.
