Major Lazer are set to release new album 'Free The Universe' on November 5th.

Bringing Dancehall to the masses, Major Lazer have stirred into life of late. The sublime, Amber Coffman fronted 'Get Free' emerged earlier this summer, matching their bashment template to a little romanticism.

Now it seems that Major Lazer are ready to return with a new album. 'Free The Universe' will be released on November 5th, and finds the production team in transitional mode.

Previously a partnership, the press release we've been given states that Diplo now heads up the Major Lazer banner. Typically collaboration heavy, the new album features collaborations with Bruno Mars, Tyga, Flux Pavillion, Wynter Gordon, Shaggy, Wyclef, Ezra Koening from Vampire Weekend, Dev and more.

Woah, woah, woah... Bruno Mars? Astounding. Funnily enough, Ezra Koenig recently dropped past Diplo's Radio 1 show to take care of a guest mix so that partnership makes a little more sense.

Details are still thin on the ground, although 'Get Free' was recently given a 12 inch pressing. Focussing on remixes, the limited edition release features Andy C, Brazilian trio Bonde do Role and newcomers What So Not.

Here's 'Get Free'.
