Phoenix feat. R. Kelly, "Trying to Be Cool" (Remix) The burgeoning R. Kelly–Phoenix relationship was birthed at Coachella, when the band had the icon join them onstage for a surprise appearance (guitarist Laurent Brancowitz explains: "We are big fans and we asked him in a very simple way and explained what we had in mind and he just said yes"), and has flourished on through to Robert's remix of this Bankrupt! track. Now you may want to go ahead and call this whole thing "unlikely," but the two entities have more in common than you might think: They're both catchy as hell (in alternately sly and obvious fashions), both somehow simultaneously overrated and underrated at the same time, and both are reliable spark plugs for a spirited round of music-nerd debate.
