After three songs released together, French producer Mike Haunted and French singer Chris KD are back with a new amazing collaboration. This time they've worked on a special cover of the song Summertime Sadness, originally written and performed by the legendary Lana Del Rey.
They've used their typical sounds again to great effect. Bubbling arpeggiators, dynamic beats, synths 'ear-candy' and Mike Haunted's airy guitar, surfing like a modern cowboy and plunging the song into a timeless synthpop atmosphere.
Chris KD adds her smooth and emotional voice to wrap the song, but you'll have to listen to the track until the end to enjoy an additional part, closing the song with elevation and style.

lyrics
[LYRICS]
Kiss me hard before you go
Summertime sadness
I just wanted you to know
That, baby, you the best
I got my red dress on tonight
Dancin' in the dark in the pale moonlight
Done my hair up real big, beauty queen style
High heels off, I'm feelin' alive
Oh, my God, I feel it in the air
Telephone wires above are sizzlin' like a snare
Honey, I'm on fire, I feel it everywhere
Nothin' scares me anymore (One, two, three, four)
Kiss me hard before you go
Summertime sadness
I just wanted you to know
That, baby, you the best
I got that summertime, summertime sadness
Su-su-summertime, summertime sadness
Got that summertime, summertime sadness
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
I'm feelin' electric tonight
Cruisin' down the coast goin' 'bout 99
Got my bad baby by my heavenly side
I know if I go, I'll die happy tonight
Oh, my God, I feel it in the air
Telephone wires above are sizzlin' like a snare
Honey, I'm on fire, I feel it everywhere
Nothin' scares me anymore (One, two, three, four)
Kiss me hard before you go
Summertime sadness
I just wanted you to know
That baby, you the best
I got that summertime, summertime sadness
Su-su-summertime, summertime sadness
Got that summertime, summertime sadness
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Think I'll miss you forever
Like the stars miss the sun in the mornin' sky
Later's better than never
Even if you're gone, I'm gonna drive, drive, drive
Kiss me hard before you go
Summertime sadness
I just wanted you to know
That, baby, you the best
