Nate Ruess is getting serious with the latest offering off his upcoming solo debut, Grand Romantic, having shared a new, Beck-assisted track "What This World Is Coming To" on Sunday.

Ruess said working with Beck was "an incredible experience," noting: "Not only does he put more studio time in than anyone I know, his back catalogue of musical references is unattainable to us mere mortals. I’d let it slide — but he also happens to be a wonderful person and family man to boot. Did I mention his guitar chops? Here’s hoping we get another chance to work together soon."

While Grand Romantic is out on June 16 via Fueled By Ramen, Ruess and Beck's collaboration can be heard below.
