Mac DeMarco has shared his long-brewing collaboration with the Italian singer, songwriter, and actor Ryan Paris, known for his 1983 hit “Dolce Vita.” Check out their video for new song “Simply Paradise,” shot by Kiera McNally, below. 

DeMarco spoke about his love of Paris and “Dolce Vita” in Pitchfork’s 2014 documentary Pepperoni Playboy—watch him discuss (and dance in the street to) the song from the 4:20 mark

DeMarco released his latest, 199-song album, One Wayne G, in March. Since then, he has collaborated with Eyedress on a track, done another one about “two guys going to a nude beach together in Ibiza” with Neon Indian’s Alan Palomo, and played a handful of intimate shows.
