“Déjà Vu” is the twenty first studio album by Italian record producer, remixer and deejayGiorgio Moroder. It’s scheduled to be released on 12 June 2015 via RCA Records and Sony Music Entertainment.
The album features a new batch of notable collaborators including Britney Spears, Sia, Kylie Minogue, Charli XCX, Mikky Ekko, Foxes, Matthew Koma and many others. During an interview with PopJustice, Moroder revealed some details of the upcoming project on Monday 26 January. PopJustice added:
So we find Foxes with the perky, disco-influenced ‘Glitter’, whose middle eight is a warm sonic homage to ‘Flashdance (What A Feeling)'; Charli XCX’s contribution ‘Diamonds’, meanwhile, is a noisy, clattering megabanger. Then there’s Sia’s song, ‘Deja Vu’ – a melodramatic, string-laded pop explosion of such devastating intensity that the crater it leaves will be visible from space.
The third official single is the track “Deja Vu” featuring Sia, scheduled to be released on digital retailers on 17 April 2015.

Bajan pop princess Rihanna has achieved the unthinkable. 2013 was the first year in her musical trajectory that she hasn’t released an album or at least a re-issue. After the promotion of her seventh LP “Unapologetic“, released in November 2012, it was expected that the artist released her eighth LP in 2014, but she decided to extend the Unapologetic promotion releasing “What Now” as her latest single from this era.
Incredible but true, Rihanna takes three years without having released a new album, but you can rest assured that this is about to change.
