Listen: Innocent Song from The Walkman’s Walter Martin & Yeah Yeah Yeah’s Karen O

Before you dismiss the innocent nature of the song below,”Sing To Me,” understand former Walkman Walter Martin’s intention.

“It’s kids’ songs that are very cleverly done,” The Walkman’s frontman Hamilton Leithauser told Stereogum last December. “An adult could sit and listen to it, because it isn’t corny. It’s fun.”

The song is off the album We’re All Young Together, due out May 13, 2014.
