Cheap Sunglasses Ft. Matthew Koma (The Knocks Remix)
Earlier this year, we witnessed what would become one of our favorite songs for the summer. With Matthew Koma’s distinctive vocals laid over a light, playful, and understated bassline, RAC brought us something that’s graced our cars, pool parties and BBQs over the past few months. In all honesty, it had such a regular spot in the rotation, that we were starting to get a little tired of it. No offense to RAC or Matthew Koma, but we all know how those things go.
In a fortuitous turn of events, another one of our favorite artists released their take on this hit minutes ago. That’s right, we said minutes.
Taking it out of the backyards, NYC duo The Knocks, have brought this tune to the club, putting Koma’s vocals to a darker and slightly aggressive bassline. Elements of the original melody are apparent, but take a back seat in comparison to the bassline. With heavy attention on the kicks, we’re offered up something that would be perfect for the dance floor, which is sure to happen this weekend.
If you need a new take on one of your favorites, we’ve consistently found that The Knocks never disappoint. From HAIM to The 1975, these guys have always impressed us, and this track furthers that adoration even more.
