Chic fronter Nile Rodgers is working on an EDM/Country music project with Keith Urban, according to a report from Yahoo Music.

Speaking with the site, Rodgers says he understands the sound may come as a shock to Urban fans.

"His fans may have some kind of problem at first," he began.

"But my biggest records have always been like that. A lot of people, the only record they ever bought by David Bowie was Let's Dance.

That's at least seven million albums — he'd never sold anything near that before. So his fanbase got angry: 'This sucks! This is not Ziggy Stardust! That's not Scary Monsters!'"

"But it was huge because it spoke to a broader audience. I think a record like this will speak to a broader audience [for Urban], and the country people will come around."

Rodgers also told The Sun this week that he's making music with model Cara Delevingne.
