Vampire Weekend's Rostam Batmanglij has teamed up with Kid Cudi and Best Coast's Bethany Cosentino to create a new track for Converse shoes.
The project is similar to the 2008 collaboration between The Strokes' Julian Casablancas, Santigold and Pharrell Williams, which saw all three artists work on 'My Drive Thru'.
Although no song title has been confirmed, Batmanglij, Kid Cudi and Cosentino are expected to release their track next month, reports Thetripwire.com.
Watch a Converse video of Batmanglij speaking about his inspirations in music below.
