As fans await Britney Spears' recently announced new single "Pretty Girls," the pop star's throwback collaboration with Italian disco pioneer Giorgio Moroder has leaked. For Déjà Vu, the producer's first album in 30 years, Spears covers Suzanne Vega's 1987 a cappella hit "Tom's Diner."
The reenergized cover of the Eighties classic makes the song even more sonically dynamic, with Spears evoking Vega's subdued, almost deadpan, delivery. Spears joins a number of Top 40 staples who contribute to Moroder's return to music, including Kylie Minogue, Charli XCX and Sia, who sings on the LP's title track "Déjà Vu."
In an interview with Rolling Stone, Moroder teased the "Tom's Diner" cover, noting that it was Spears' idea. "Britney came to my management company with the idea to do a particular song with me, which was interesting because usually it's the other way, with the producer offering a song," said the artist best known for his work with Donna Summer. Though he couldn't reveal which song they had worked on together at the time, Moroder did note that that "it's a song which came out about 30 years ago as an a cappella, just a voice."
Spears' last release was 2013's Britney Jean. In the interim, the performer has been headlining her own show in Las Vegas titled Britney: Piece of Me. Though originally slated to be a two-year stint at Planet Hollywood, she announced last fall that she had renewed her contract for an additional two years. Though "Pretty Girls" has been confirmed, Spears has not revealed any additional information on a follow-up to Britney Jean.
the cover is not all that. y'all have terrible taste imo. it's cute and will be forgotten soon
From the kid that thought "Tom's Diner" plagiarized "Dot," an album cut from a movie soundtrack that nobody has ever heard. Thanks for your musical prowess, sis.

ATRL has no respect for a good vocoder
lmao Eternium sis; I was joking; even the gif should ve helped you ...... but anyway
Swisscheese or whatever ur name is, I know you're excited for this more than the army but this is the first thing we've had from Brit in years. Kindly, leave this thread and let the army soak this in. You stated how you feel already so there's no point of you being here anymore. Go enjoy your fave's music. Didn't she rerelease her visual album? Go watch that instead of trying so hard to convince readers your wrong opinion is a fact.
thank you for your opinion. now kindly go back to licking Beyoncé's ass and leave this thread alone and kindly take your HIV with you.
There are people on ATRL who are in fact HIV positive including me. You should be perma-banned for being so ignorant and pathetic. ATRL is a mess sometimes but we will NOT have such vile beings on here.
A hive member is giving the song a 5/10 and you act like scum. **** outta here!
defensive; I gave you an occasion to drag in a long time; thank me 
I thought it was a 90s hit cuz I always heard it when I was a baby
