Vincent took on Lipps Inc’s 1979 hit ‘Funkytown’ while Phoebe Bridgers covered The Carpenters‘ 1972 song ‘Goodbye To Love’. Brockhampton recorded a new rendition of Kool And The Gang‘s ‘Hollywood Swinging’, and Bleachers put their own spin on John Lennon‘s ‘Instant Karma!’.Other contributors include H.E.R., Thundercat, Caroline Polachek and Brittany Howard – check out the full tracklist below.Rumours of Diana Ross and Tame Impala’s Kevin Parker working on music together first surfaced last year.
