Julian Casablancas with the text “Start Over” with New Radicals‘Gregg Alexander, who also co -produced the song with David Kahne. In a joint statement, Casablancas and Alexander said:

At a time when voter suppression and mega donors are undermining democracy, it’s important to remember that New York City is even more likely to risk handing over the reins of America’s most diverse city to the same kind of party machine that controlled NY management for nearly the 20th century… one of Brooklyn’s clubhouse politics, a lot of real-estate money, and reshaping each other. It’s time we chose Maya as the town’s first female mayor to make things better for ALL of our future.

Earlier this year, Gregg Alexander revived New Radicals for an Inauguration day performance of “You Get What You Give. ”
