==========================================================================================================
Drake will reportedly collaborate with Florence + The Machine on their upcoming second album after lead singer Florence Welch joined him on stage in London this weekend.
The 'Thank Me Later' star is said to be a big fan of Florence's and is eager to work on the follow up to her 2009 album 'Lungs'.
The Sun claims that the pair discussed working together after Welch made a surprise appearance at Drake's gig at Hammersmith Apollo on Saturday (Jan 8) evening.


Jamie xx may also be a part of F+TM's next album
It appears that Jamie xx may also be a part of F+TM's next album. Here isan extract from an article from The Daily:
Jamie xx (né Jamie Smith) isn’t your typical 21-year-old. For starters,the London-bred producer and member of “The xx” has a Mercury Prize at home.And while his pals are probably tossing back pints at university, Jamieexhibits the sort of tireless work ethic and hustle on par with Kanye West. Hewas recently in the studio with Florence + theMachine and is on a constant tear remixing tracks (UKchart-toppers Adele and Florence+ the Machine) and making beats for other musicians (most recently Drake).

"2010 was all about recording and planning and how I was going to reinvent myself - a new munk."
Chipmunk's new album includes collaborations with Trey Songz, Wretch 32 and Keri Hilson but he would love to work with Eminem, Jay-Z Kanye West and Lil' Wayne on his third album.
But his all-time dream collaboration would be with Florence and the Machine, "I would fight a horses to work with Florence, I think she is absolutely amazing. I am just in awe about everything about her.
The album is going to be out in April, the first single Champion is out now.

It seems that the Flo/Drake collaboration will be on Drake's album not F+TM's.
The 24-year-old rapper is presently working on his second album, ‘Take Care’, on which he is hoping to collaborate with Florence and the Machine and producer Jamie Smith from the band The xx.

MTV关于新专的报道
MANCHESTER, Tennessee — When Florence Welch began writing the songs that would become her breakout Lungs album, she was just 18 years old and had no idea of what lay ahead of her.Now, as she begins putting the finishing touches on the follow up to that album — working in the iconic Abbey Road studios — she finds herself a few years older, but oddly enough, in much the same position.
"It's nearly finished, but, of course, that's the hardest part for me, because once it's finished, you have to share it with others," she told MTV News on Thursday before her sundown set at Bonnaroo. "So, I've found myself obsessing over the way I've sung one little word, and wanting to go back and do it over again. I'm going to try and hold onto it as long as possible."While Welch admits the album is in its final stages, she still has a difficult time describing exactly what it sounds like. But from what she does say, it see***ike the still-untitled effort won't sound like Lungs."I wrote so much of my first album at different times and places — some songs when I was 18, some when I was 21 — so there are so many pieces and styles on it," she said. "And that's one of the things I love about it, but for my new record, I wanted to do things differently. It's why I worked with one producer in one studio. I want to tie all those things together ... in one piece, if possible."The new album also reflects everything that's happened to her on her rather rapid ascent to fame. But she's also taking inspiration from far different, far more ethereal places, too."There's a song on it that's inspired by a visit [from] my dead grandmother — like, I had really, really vivid dream about her and, um, she was giving me advice in this dream," she said. "And it was really emotional, and I woke up crying. And there's one song that's inspired by that experience."
