The Cool Kids - Swimsuits
Artist: The Cool Kids
Featuring: Mayer Hawthorne
Producer: Chuck Inglish
Album: When Fish Ride Bicycles
Label: Green Label Sound
Though it’s been one hell of a wait, it’s looking like fans of The Cool Kids can expect an album before school’s back in session. Any LP dropping during the months of June, July or August is practically legally required to feature at least one potential summer anthem and, as you may have surmised from the title, Swimsuits is Chuck Inglish and Mikey Rocks’ entry into into the running. On this breezy banger, Inglish infuses his usual, minimal production blueprint with a little extra pop flavor, blending an upbeat break with synth flourishes and bumping bass as he and his partner-in-rhyme chronicle a day of warm-weather recreation in sunny Hawaii. After Chuck’s done lacing the opener with tantalizing descriptions of beachfront ambiance (“Cash bar only, no need for the Visas, and the bottle girls walkin’ round here in bikinis”), Rocks grabs the mic to recount a flirtatious encounter straight outta Master P’s Ice Cream Man video. No summer jam is complete without a fittingly smooth-n-mellow chorus; here Mayer Hawthorne does the honors, contributing his sun-kissed harmonies to the hook. Craving more? Then be sure to cop the Kids’ debut set, When Fish Ride Bicycles, when it hit digital outlets July 12, via Green Label Sound.

Didn't see this one coming (well, I did look at the title and credits on a track listing, but...). Do I love it? No, its a little too un-Cool Kids for me. But, do I think lots of people, fans and newcomers alike, will love it? Yes, yes I do.

Agreed. It's not a song that sounds like a Cool Kids track, but I feel like the fans who don't really listen to them will like this song. Plus Mayor Hawthorne is a good feature.

It's different from what they usually do, but I think it's fitting for the summer esp. since it officially begins today. Plus, I'm a sucker for a Mayer Hawthorne feature. Mayer Hawthorne anything, really.

Solid track. It's definitely interesting and different. Something just feels a little off. I can't put my finger on it though.
