LOVING this! Leave it to apparel-maker Converse to bring together an unlikely group of artists, lay down a track and make it work. Kid Cudi, Vampire Weekend vocalist/instrumentalist Rostam Batmanglij and Best Coast's own Bethany Cosentino make beautiful music together in the recently released song "All Summer," available as a free download on the Converse website. The song is accompanied by a cool video, featuring the trio, each with an over-sized mask made into his or her own likeness. The three appear to be roommates in the video, sharing a cramped 3 Bedroom/1 Bathroom city apartment. The song features Cudi rapping throughout while Cosentino delivers the song's titular chorus. Fun and summery I dig it. Well played Converse. Well played.
