'Tom's Diner' by Giorgio Moroder featuring Britney Spears

Giorgio Moroder has a massive album on his hands, and while it doesn't come out for a while longer we've already heard quite a few insane collabs with Sia and Kylie Minogue. However, it's the Britney feature that everyone has been waiting for. At last it has arrived.

While it's a massive leak, it comes at the perfect time to tide us over until Britney's new collab with Iggy Azalea drops in less than a month. 'Tom's Diner' was originally written and released by Suzanne Vega and was later reworked into a big hit in the '90s.

The song's meaning is what is particularly striking. Vega wrote the song about her friend who said "he saw his whole life through a pane of glass, and...like he was the witness to a lot of things, but was never really involved in them." Is Britney trying to tell us something?

No matter the subliminal message, Britney has officially become a disco diva provocateur as she jumps on this glitzy groove. Yeah it may be overly autotuned but Brit's signature enunciation is what makes this production an original work of art. She's completely redefined what this song used to be.

Even though she may have been too busy to finish recording the bridge, Moroder's signature dark strings throbbing under Godney's gorgeous voice is simply divine. Welcome to Britney's Diner...
