Jennifer Lopez is on the hunt for her next hit.

The diva, who is reportedly set to reprise her judging role on American Idol later this year, was snapped posing it up with hitmaker Sia in a Los Angeles recording studio. As many know, the songwriter is renown for her work on Rihanna‘s ‘Diamonds’, as well as a slew of other chart smashes.

Writing about her sessions with 43-year-old Jenny, Sia gushed:

Worked with jenny from the block yesterday. (@JLo !) what a charming, sweet, funny person. And she can really SING! Anyhoo. Super fun.

— sia furler (@Sia) August 7, 2013

***********

Interesting pairing and an entirely necessary one too, given JLo’s arguable over-reliance on RedOne in recent years.

Indeed, it appears La Lopez has gone back to the drawing-board after this Summer’s ‘Live It Up’ fizzled rather sizzled. Add to this the fact that the campaign for its parent album (the singer’s tenth) is nowhere to be seen despite a November release being teased as far back as May.

With the Idol platform seemingly back in the mix, it’s safe to say the Pitbull-assisted cut will be christened “a gift for the fans” in due course, with a new “lead” single commissioned once the show starts filming and/or airing. Got to love the spin!

In any case, we’re excited to see what the ladies cook up. Are you?

Your thoughts?

Now this is one we didn’t see coming.

Is it any good?
