Foster the People's musical stock is on the rise, and at a pace few can keep up with. With their genre-bending sound and their 'Pumped Up Kicks,' the trio have been road warriors since the beginning of the year, touring in support of their debut disc 'Torches.'

Her jilted lover cameo on Gotye's 'Somebody That I Used to Know' launched both into pop culture ubiquity -- earning them indie cred, pop sales, a Coachella set and a 'Saturday Night Live' appearance. Now Kimbra's solo record lands in North America, a prodigious work by a prodigal artist. Only 22, Johnson has crafted a record as accessible as it is experimental, and while it's not the full fruition of her talent, is a work of remarkable promise.
To promote a new line of their famous Chuck Taylor sneakers that are available exclusively at Journeys stores, Converse have gotten Mark Foster of Foster the People, Kimbra (of Gotye fame) and DJ A-Trak to collaborate on a new song and video, 'Warriors.'
