Stream: Phoenix, “Trying to Be Cool (R. Kelly Remix)”

August 14, 2013


Now, usually R. Kelly doesn't do remixes for upper-tier indie rock bands, but he broke one off for Phoenix for reasons that are still not totally clear. The French group brought him out during their Coachella set this year—see footage above—and have now cemented the partnership in MP3 form, premiering this new, not-nearly-as-mindblowing-as-it-could've-been version of Bankrupt! single "Trying to Be Cool" on Radio 1.
