Indie pop band, fun. collaborated with Janelle Monae on a powerful, alternative pop anthem entitled “We Are Young.”
The band, who look like the average hipsters from New York City, give off a Coldplay vibe with “We Are Young.”
In this young adult anthem, the band sings, “I need to get my story straight. My friends are in the bathroom
getting higher than the empire state. My lover, she’s waiting for me just across the bar. My seat’s been taken by some sunglasses asking about a scar.”
They go on to chant about being young, setting the world on fire and burning brighter than the sun, over a choir, drums, strings and a blend of “na-na”‘s.
fun. is composed of Nate Ruess, Andrew Dost, and Jack Antoff.
Their album Fueled by Ramen is produced by Jeff Bhasker, known for his work on Jay-Z and Kanye’s Watch The Throne album and tracks with Kid Cudi and Alicia Keys.
This fall, fun. will join Janelle Monae on the Campus Consciousness Tour 2011.
The band will also perform in New York City for a headline show at the Bowery Ballroom on November 9th.
