Six months ago we premiered the The Knocks' collaboration with Brooklyn's X Ambassadors. It was what we've come to expect from the duo: bombastic, funk-finagled, and fun. A dance track that had us dreaming of martinis and yachts moored off the coast of Miami. I really didn't think they could pack more #goodvibes into a cut but whatever, they've done it again.Below is the exclusive premiere of their latest single, "Classic" featuring Powers. It's a straight up summer smash, the kind of dance track that hangs in an era-less vacuum; the kind of tune that makes you feel like you're in a movie montage that begins in the hazy magic hour and splices together every amazing moment till dawn. But enough of me waxing on. B-Roc and JPatt have something specific they'd like to communicate about the song. Here's a letter from The Knocks.
