After partnering up with recent Brit Award winners Coldplay, Swedish songbird Tove Lo is now collaborating with recent Brit Award nominees Years & Years. The latter band’s frontman Olly Alexander posted an Instagram pic of himself with Tove this afternoon, while noting, “so happy & excited to announce that excellent pop star & megababe @tovelo is featuring on our NEW version of Desire!”

“Desire” was initially released in fall 2014, and became Years & Years’ breakthrough single in their home country of the UK after it cracked the Top 40 and peaked at #22. (We even pegged the song as a “Future Hit” back then — and, who knows, maybe it’ll become one now stateside.) Their follow-up, “King,” took them all the way to the top of the British chart. Like recent single “Eyes Shut,” “Desire” was co-produced by Two Inch Punch.

Stay tuned for the collision of these two pop forces.
