Fun. + Janelle Monáe, We Are Young

Fun. is an American indie pop band created in 2008 by Nate Ruess (after the break-up of The Format) inviting Andrew Dost from Anathalo and Jack Antonoff from Steel Train.

They've released an album Aim and Ignite in 2009 which was mostly well received by critics.
From that album we can recognize songs like Walking The Dog or All The Pretty Girls.

Their new album is going to be released tomorrow under the name Some Nights.
After signing with a new label - Fueled by Ramen - fun. began the work for Some Nights being really influenced by Kanye West and other hip-hop artists. With this album they created an interesting mix of indie pop, rock and hip-hop.
Some Nights was inspired by "how personalities can change on any given night".
Adam Knott from Sputnikmusic wrote about the album that "The energy and personality which flood out of every melody give this album its own stamp of authority".

The first single taken from Some Nights is We Are Young which features Janelle Monáe.
This song was covered by Glee on the episode Hold On to Sixteen.

"Now I know that I'm not all that you got

I guess that I I just thought maybe we could find a ways to fall apart

But are friends in back

So let's raise a cup

Cause I found someone to carry me home"
