Hear Azealia Banks’ Sultry, Slowed-Down Fall Out Boy Remix
Fall Out Boy release their rap-remix album Make America Psycho Again on Friday and to tease the new set, the band has released the Azealia Banks-assisted remix of “The Kids Aren’t Alright.”
The slowed-down take on the rock track features only one verse from Banks at the beginning before launching into the Fall Out Boy portion. “Let me tell the truth, I like me some you,” she says on the pining verse. “And if you alright with me, then a bride got a groom.”
Banks joins a hefty roster of rap’s current rising stars on Fall Out Boy’s new album, including Migos, OG Maco and iLoveMakonnen. Fall Out Boy’s summer tourmate Wiz Khalifa also jumped on one of the songs, remixing the band’s single “Uma Thurman.”
All tracks on Make America Psycho Again originally appeared on the band’s latest album, American Beauty/American Psycho. Along with the rap remixes of the entire album, Fall Out Boy also collaborated on a separate remix of single “Irresistible” with singer Demi Lovato.
The Chicago rock group contributed a cover of “I Wan’na Be Like You” from The Jungle Book to the star-studded compilation We Love Disney. Produced the David Foster, We Love Disney also features covers of classic Disney tunes by Ariana Grande, Gwen Stefani, Ne-Yo and more.
In February, the band will head out on their ‘Wintour,’ featuring support from Awolnation. The tour will kick off in San Juan, Puerto Rico on February 25th and end on March 26th in Irvine, California.
