Pop star Ariana Grande has teamed up with frequent collaborator Nicki Minaj on new track "The Light Is Coming", which sounds like its had an intense injection of The Neptunes era of Pharrell Williams.

It's becoming increasingly difficult to find a pop track without Pharrell WIlliams' name attached. Today Ariana Grande dropped her new track "The Light Is Coming", featuring Nicki Minaj and a producing credit for Williams.

As the retro warps welcome Nicki Minaj's firm rapping, it becomes clear that Pharrell Williams has had a flashback to The Neptunes days.

Williams has been busy this year as his mile-long list of producing credits rolls out with artists such as Justin Timberlake, Camila Cabello, The Carters (Beyoncé and Jay-Z), an now Ariana Grande.

"The Light Is Coming" provoked the revealing of details to Grande's next album, which will be called Sweetener, and is out 17 August via Republic Records.
