Giorgio Moroder’s new album features Britney Spears covering “Tom’s Diner”

This summer, Italian record producer, songwriter, and electronic dance music pioneer Giorgio Moroder is set to release Déjà Vu, his first studio album in 30 years, and he’s lined up some of the top voices in pop to guest on the album. The guests cover a broad range of ages and styles, including Sia, Charli XCX, Kylie Minogue, Mikky Ekko (best known for his collaboration with Rihanna on “Stay”), and the bossy milkshake queen herself, Kelis.

Most interestingly, it appears Moroder has also snagged pop icon Britney Spears for a cover of Suzanne Vega’s 1987 hit “Tom’s Diner.” The cover could easily be the best new Britney release in recent years, considering just how much of a letdown her last album was. But we’ll blame Will.i.am for Britney Jean. It looks like we’ll have to wait until June 12 for the Britney song, but Moroder’s Sia-backed title track is due out tomorrow.
