Frank Ocean records song with Depeche Mode

Frank Ocean has collaborated with Depeche Mode on a new track.

The somewhat unlikely coming together took place in a recording studio as the electronic pioneers worked on their new record 'Delta Machine'.

Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, Depeche Mode's Dave Gahan revealed that they got a surprise invitation from Ocean, who was in the same building at the time.

They even worked together on a track, which could feature on Ocean's next album. Gahan said:

"Suddenly in the doorway, I sensed this presence, and I realised there was this guy standing there just watching. An assistant came up to me in between songs and said, 'Do you mind? Frank Ocean is here working in another studio and really wants to meet you guys.' I wouldn't have thought he would have even known who we are, but it turns out he's a big fan."

He continued: "Martin [Gore] and Christoffer Berg ended up doing a track with him, which I think is going to be part of his new record. Martin did some electronics and some modular synthesiser stuff he really wanted."

Ocean's debut album 'Channel Orange' was released in 2012 and he recently revealed that he is well on his way to creating his next record.
