Converse has released a new installment in its Three Artists, One Song series that sees Frank Ocean collaborating with rock legends Mick Jones and Paul Simonon of The Clash and electronic music producer Diplo for a new song titled “Hero.”
In a press release for the single, Diplo said:
The Clash were always teachers to me, even before I shared a studio with Paul and Mick. Their musical anarchy and constant attitude to disregard rules and forge their own path was inspirational to me. They meant death to genres, music, and message above everything. Frank lives by the same creed in being married to his vision and seeing it through at any cost. We had to challenge each other to make something that we hope no one could expect, and Converse valued everyone’s artistic freedom to let us shine throughout the past few months to make this thing happen.
In addition to Diplo’s production, the song features vocals from Frank Ocean and the West Los Angeles Children’s Choir, guitar by Mick Jones, and bass by Paul Simonon.
“Hero” is available to download on Converse’s Tumblr and SoundCloud, and to stream on its YouTube and Spotify. Check out their behind-the-scenes video below.
