MyloXyloTom Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 The cover they did of Clocks was awesome, I'd say it's on a par with the original. But from the trailer video, the cover of Viva doesn't seem as good... :\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tash Posted October 2, 2012 Author Share Posted October 2, 2012 Coldplay Video Unveiled By Climate Change Music Charity To mark the release of their fifth album Artists Project Earth (‘APE’) has unveiled a great new video to accompany Coldplay’s famous track Viva La Vida which has been given an African makeover on the album, Rhythms Del Mundo: Africa also featuring: Eminem, Beyonce, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Mumford & Sons, Fleet Foxes, Rokia Traore and others. This fantastic animated video was the brainchild of APE founder and Grammy Award winning song writer Kenny Young, who co-wrote the 1964 hit Under The Boardwalk. The animation was done by Chris Debney, who won acclaim for his video instalments in the London 2012 Olympics opening ceremony with Danny Boyle, along with character animator Martin Bell. The video was produced to raise awareness of Artists Project Earth and its vitally important work, which to date has funded over 300 projects around the world though the sale of its Rhythms Del Mundo series of albums. These projects are focused on climate change mitigation and adaptation, as well as funding for natural disaster relief. Coldplay have enthusiastically endorsed the video and have given APE the encouragement to release it on all social networks. A clip of the video which features an alien landing on earth and witnessing disasters such as floods and deforestation can be seen here. The Coldplay track is one of thirteen new African-style reworkings of contemporary hits, and is released on a new compilation album ‘Rhythms Del Mundo: Africa’ on 8th October.
