Bruno and Anderson are no strangers to working together, after they toured with each other on the 35-year-old singer's '24K Magic World Tour' in 2017.
There was speculation at the time that the pair had worked on new material with Chic guitarist Nile Rodgers and a member of Disclosure, after a video emerged on social media of the quartet at the famous Abbey Road Studios in London.
Bruno hasn't dropped an album since 2016's '24K Magic'.
The 'That's What I Like' hitmaker teamed up with Ed Sheeran and Chris Stapleton for single 'Blow' in 2019, which appeared on Ed's 'No.6 Collaborations Project' album, and in the same year he released song 'Please Me' with Cardi B.
Anderson, 35 - whose real name is Brandon Paak Anderson - dropped his fourth studio album, 'Ventura', in 2019, a follow up to 'Oxnard', 'Malibu', and his 2014 debut record 'Venice'.
