Stream: Pia Mia f. Chance the Rapper, “Fight For You (Prod. Clams Casino)”

The Divergent soundtrack is loaded with unexpected collaborations, and this is maybe the most unexpected of all. It’s pretty good, though.

February 28, 2014



Divergent has a big deal soundtrack, as all YA-to-Blockbuster franchises seem to these days. There are songs from Ellie Goulding, Skrillex, BANKS and M83 (which came out yesterday), as well as a bunch of rather unexpected collaborations: A$AP Rocky and Gesaffellstein? Kendrick Lamar and Tame Impala? And oddest of them all, Pia Mia, Chance the Rapper-- and Clams Casino?

You might recognize Pia Mia, an Interscope signee who got her start as a YouTube cover star and a Kardashian hanger-on, as the girl who had the gumption to sing "Hold On, We're Going Home" in front of Kanye West and Drake himself during a Kardashian family dinner (or if you're truly kept up, you'll recall that she sang the hook on Kendall and Kylie's "Pee Song (Prod. by Juicy J)"-- seriously). Chance joining her here makes enough sense, because Chance seems open and eager to collaborate with whoever -- Justin Bieber, James Blake, Jeremih, etc. -- knowing he's agile enough to make whatever work. But you have to wonder: how did Clams Casino get wrapped up into this? Anyways, the product of their teamup, "Fight For You," is a little more straightforward than most Clams but still a little spacey. And overall, it's pretty good. Listen below. The rest of the soundtrack (full tracklist below) is out March 11 and the movie hits theaters March 21.
