Universal Music struck gold (or multi-platinum) when they watched Jessie J, Ariana Grande and Nicki Minaj razzle and dazzle the charts with the song ‘Bang Bang.’
So, after watching their act The Weeknd push his way to the top with his new album ‘Beauty Behind the Madness’ the label has now seen him join forces with Minaj to create brand new material.
Sound exciting?

Meet us after the jump…
So, here’s how the conversation about their forthcoming duet came to be.
The pair bumped into each other at a New York Fashion Week event hours ago and posed for pictures together. Then, once they’d finished getting their Naomi Campbell on Minaj asked the ‘Can’t Feel My Face’ maestro if he had her details.
What happened next?
Hit the one minute mark.
Exciting stuff!
Their creative coupling may seem odd to those unfamiliar with their respective album tracks but those who are familiar with them will know that it makes perfect sense.
Minaj’s love for the Irish singer Enya and Lisa Fischer has seen her venture into serene and occasionally moody musical territory with the likes of ‘Here I Am‘, ‘Put You In A Room’ and ‘I Lied’, all of which we could hear Abel sounding stellar on.
Here’s hoping we get to hear what they cook up sooner rather than later.
