Veteran singer Brian Wilson is working with Lana Del Rey and Zooey Deschanel on new songs which he had originally written to record with The Beach Boys.
The 72-year-old legendary Beach Boys singer and composer had started writing material to record with the group before he and fellow founding member Al Jardine were ousted in 2012 by Mike Love, so he has turned to other vocalists to help him complete the songs, reported Rolling Stone magazine.
"It was a shock. I was so proud of how the Boys were singing. Then it just ended. I was writing for the Boys, so I thought, 'What am I gonna do without them?'," Wilson said.
Singers recruited by Wilson also include Kacey Musgraves, Frank Ocean and Fun's Nate Ruess, whom he says 'sounds a little like my brother Carl.'
The centrepiece of the album is set to be the track featuring Lana, which is about the way The Beach Boys broke up.
