Daft Punk New Album 2013, Tour Dates 2013, Single "Get Lucky" Goes to #1 (VIDEDO)
Daft Punk's New Album Random Access Memories drops on May 21st but the band's first single, "Get Lucky" is already making huge noise. The song teams up with producer/singer Pharrell Williams and funk legend Nile Rodgers.
Their new single, "Get Lucky" has gone to #1 in U.K. according to Billboard.
The single first appeared at Coachella festival in California when before the Yeah Yeah Yeah's set, they showed a preview video teaser of just over a minute long to the surprised and excited crowd (see video above). Then SNL played another longer teaser and the buzz was official.
"Get Lucky" set record number's on the social media music site Spotify and has been selling very well on itunes as well.
Fans can expect to hear a different side of Daft Punk as they step away from trendy computerized sounds of past albums in favor of a more unique sound.
"Electronic music is in its comfort zone its not moving one inch" Bangalter is quoted as saying, so as they leave their electronic origins behind, fans will hear a new funkier Daft Punk with a live element.
Daft Punk will be streaming videos and their new record on May 17 in Wee Waa, Australia, but have no confirmed live performance tour dates at this point. Rumors are though that when they do eventually tour for this record there will be many special guests involved.
Do you think Daft Punk's Random Access Memories will be the best album of 2013?
