It's been rumoured and hinted at throughout the internet and blogosphere for a while now. And if the rumours should be true , then we are in for one blisteringly blockbuster of a track. One that will no doubt top every Itunes chart from Germany to Nicaragua , Australia to Japan.
The hype machines are already cranking up for Lady Gaga's 3rd album ArtPop. Then theres Beyonce;s long awaited 5th album , with new material due to premiered at the SuperBowl in a frothnight.
Add Rihanna into the mix , a woman who bangs out worldwide hits on her sleep. Then theres the debut album of one Azealia Banks. Much delayed , but eagerly anticpated.
Now can you imagine Lady Gaga , Beyonce and Rihanna ALL on the ONE record. The three biggest female artists of teh past decade. Joined by one of the brightest stars of 2013 Azealia Banks.
The track titled Ratchet is expected to be the lead single from Gaga's ArtPop album. Initially , it had been announced Gaga was working with Azealia, Then speculation turned to another Beyonce collab following their globe conquering 2010 hook up Telephone.
Now it appears an instrumental of the track has leaked online. As yet there is still no official confirmation on the track , and theres little to gauge from the instrumental. Only that Ratchet sounds like a frenetically bonkers and suitably epic track befitting all four ladies.
Salivating at the prospect of this track is an understatement. We havent had such a huge collection of female talent on one record since Pink , Christina Aguilera , Missy Elliot , Lil Kim and Mya sung Lady Marmalade in 2001. As great as that record was , at the time only Christina and Missy could have been considered huge names. How time shave changed 12 years on as only Pink remains very much a global superstar.
This time however , we have genuinely 3 pop icons on the one record. The run of hits between them in the past 5 years is staggering. The last time we had true pop titans on one record was Britney Spears and Madonna on 2003's Me Against The Music , which admittedly proved underwhelming.
If its true , then Ratchet is sure to be THE song of 2013
