Scissor Sisters have debuted their new single, "Only the Horses," a pounding dance track produced by Calvin Harris, who recently (and famously) lent his producing skills to Rihanna's smash hit "We Found Love."

"I've known Calvin for quite a while, we met originally making some music with Kylie [Minogue] for the Aphrodite album. He's just a lovely guy, he's so wonderful," Sisters' frontman Jake Shears told BBC1's Fearne Cotton before premiering the song this morning.

Scissor Sister's are prepping for the release of their fourth album, Magic Hour, on May 28. The set features some pretty eclectic production work for the NYC-based disco-pop band, with Pharrell Williams, Diplo, BoysNoize's Alex Rihda and Azealia Banks, in addition to Harris, all contributing tracks. Diplo and Williams are better known for their work with hip-hop and R&B artists – though a few years back, Williams was the go-to producer for pop stars looking for beats – but Shears says some of the album's best work comes from Williams.

"I was a little bit intimidated, because I think Pharrell's really amazing… dare I say it, I think it might be some of our best work on this album," Shears told Cotton this morning.
