Dave Stewart and Nena team up for new track

Former Eurythmics star Dave Stewart has teamed up with German rocker Nena for a new single.
The musician, who has previously collaborated with the likes of Tom Petty and Stevie Nicks, has written Be My Rebel with the 99 Red Balloons singer, real name Gabriele Susanne Kerner.
“It’s one of the absolute highlights of my life as a musician so far,” she tells Billboard, revealing the collaboration came about last year (17) when a friend put her in touch with Stewart.
“She turned up at my gate with, like, all of her family, I think – sons, daughters, husband, about nine people,” Stewart laughs.
The two stars came up with the new song in about four hours, during a jam session at Dave’s studio in Los Angeles.
“Dave had this really cool guitar riff,” she says, “and the words Be My Rebel instantly just came to me. Four hours later, the song was as good as done.”
The track was released as a download on Friday (23Mar18).
