Blondie has assembled a star-studded list of songwriters for their upcoming studio album, a list that includes Charlie XCX, Johnny Marr, Sia and Strokes' guitarist Albert Hammond Jr.

The new album will be produced by St. Vincent and Sigur Rós collaborator John Congleton.

Speaking to Charli XCX as part of her Beats 1 show The Candy Shop, Blondie's Chris Stein said that the tracks are all finished and Debbie Harry just "needs to sing more."

Listing the names he and his bandmates are working with on the follow-up to 2014's Ghosts of Download, Stein continued, "Sia and that guy from the Strokes wrote a song that we have on there.

Johnny Marr, we have a Johnny Marr track that we really like."

Stein also said that Kanye West may make an appearance on the album.
