New Music: Ariana Grande f/ Zedd - 'Break Free'
While her Iggy Azalea-assisted hit “Problem” continues its reign on the charts, Ariana Grande delivers the electrifying follow-up “Break Free.” Produced by Zedd and Max Martin, the pulsing EDM number has officially entered the race for song of the summer.
The 21-year-old singer recently shot a video, which was inspired by the 1960s sci-fi film Barbarella.
“It’s inspired by Jane Fonda in Barbarella and Star Wars and space,” Ariana told Ryan Seacrest. “It’s more throwback, campy.”
Her sophomore album My Everything drops August 25 featuring Big Sean, The Weeknd, A$AP Ferg, and Childish Gambino, plus a bonus track with Nicki Minaj and Jessie J (“Bang Bang”).
The day before her album release, Ariana will perform “Break Free” at the MTV Video Music Awards in L.A.
