Daft Punk and Jay-Z seem to have collaborated on a new track, rumored to be co-produced by Kanye West, called "Computerized." "Computerized" takes portions of Daft Punk's "The Son of Flynn" track from the very popular "Tron: Legacy" soundtrack (2010) and combines them with a new Jay-Z verse as well as the auto-tuned line "Everyone will become computerized." The song is a cool aural mastication about love in the digital age. However, Pitchfork discredited this rumor about Kanye West.
According to MTV, a spokesperson for Daft Punk had not confirmed the origins of the track at press time. However, Pitchfork reports that they have gotten confirmation on the song's legitimacy, although they did not cite a source.
The song made huge waves online on Monday March 10. Daft Punk has been spoofed many times before, and early reviewers are stating that the production on this track feels a little less pristine than previous works. According to the music blog Noisey, "Computerized" could be an old track that was never intended to be heard by the public. "Computerized" could be an unfinished mix, or a track that was scrapped for whatever reason.
Rumor has it that "Computerized" is a leftover track from Daft Punk's most recent album "Random Access Memories," however there is no word on where this track could end up. Jay-Z's alleged turn sounds real enough, but some reviewers are saying there are some lines that don't sound like Hova's words. Plus, there's the part when he raps, "P.S. This is B.S."
