MNEK's been working on the new Madonna album.

MNEKAccording to Diplo, MNEK's also been helping out on the new Madonna album. (!)

In a chat with Billboard, which has been 'teased' here, Diplo says some stuff about how his recording sessions have gone so far, but also reveals that MNEK, alongside Ariel Rechtshaid, has been helping out with the verses to a new song Madonna rather likes.

Elsewhere, Diplo says the following about a song the two of them have been working on:

"One [song] is super weird. Late one night in the studio we got a little bit drunk and she impro­vised a little hook and we made a song out of it. I think it’s going to be a break­through if she can manage to get everything together and get it out properly."

We also learn that Madonna's drink of choice is rosé wine, so please update your spread­sheets accordingly.
