Matt & Kim

Matt & KimMatt and Kim will release their new album, Lightning, on October 2nd. Written and produced by Matt and Kim, Lightning was recorded by the Brooklyn duo in their Grand Street apartment and features ten outstanding tracks written in true Matt and Kim fashion.

Andrew W.K. - Soulja Boy, Matt and Kim

Andrew W.K. - Soulja Boy, Matt and KimMatt & Kim, Soulja Boy and Andrew W.K. teamed up to release a brand new song titled “I’m A Goner”. The song is part of Converse’s Three Artists One Song collaboration. “I’m A Goner” is available for free on SoundCloud and can be streamed below. A video of the song is also available and can be seen after the jump.

Andrew W.K. had this to say about the song:

“The party gods of the universe set the wheels in motion and made it destiny that we all work together. I simply followed the will of the party music gods. Working with Soulja and Matt and Kim was a dream come true – it was a party – it was a fantasy turned into reality. I’ve been New York City friends with Matt and Kim for a while now. We toured together in Australia and I just loved them. It’s an energetic attitude that I can relate to. And talk about energy! Soulja Boy is the energy daddy. I’ve admired him very, very much since ever his first album came out and I think he’s just getting better and better. It’s the best music in the world for me. I couldn’t be more excited for this opportunity. When I got the invitation, I really was like, ‘Woah. I can barely believe this is happening. Yes!’

“When Kim and I sat down to write “I’m A Goner” we knew we wanted to make a song people can party to,” said Matt Johnson of Matt & Kim. “Soulja Boy and Andrew W.K’s lyrics and energy bring a whole new element to the song that we couldn’t be more excited about.”
