Listen to Pharrell, Santogold and Casablancas' Converse song

There’s something both simple and transcendent about a classic pair of Chucks. It’s a style that’s lasted through the decades, with everyone from Brit punks to hip-hop moguls to young female MCs donning the kicks. And perhaps that’s why Converse managed to wrangle together L.A. beatmaker Pharrell Williams of N.E.R.D., Brooklyn's so-hot-right-now Santogold, and Strokes frontman Julian Casablancas to record a song together.

As part of the Converse Century celebration, these artists collaborated on a pulsating, guitar-driven grab bag of a dance track titled “My Drive Thru.” The song became available last week for exclusive digital download on Converse.com and Converse-authorized sites. There is also a music video for the song that should appear sometime this summer.

"I've always wanted to work with Julian and I'm a big fan of The Strokes. Santogold is super-talented and she cares about music so much that it's not just about sound, it's a visual aesthetic," Pharrell said in statement. "Working together on original music that crossed all of our inspirations was completely refreshing and I love the track. As for partnering with Converse, I only wear and support the things that I like. The Chuck Taylor is the golden goose egg."
