Singer Miley Cyrus has hit the studio for an unlikely collaboration with hip-hop star Tyler, The Creator.

Rapper/producer Pharrell Williams, who has been working with Cyrus on her fourth album, alerted fans to the news via his Twitter.com blog on Monday (30Oct12), posting a photo of himself with the former Hannah Montana actress and controversial Odd Future star Tyler.

He tweeted, "In the lab... (with) Miley Cyrus (and) Tyler..."

Williams reached out to Cyrus and offered to produce her new material after being impressed with her resilience during the bong scandal that threatened to derail her career two years ago (10).
