@AwardChris Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Avicii reveals he made 600 versions of his new track 'Heaven' with Chris Martin, and the Coldplay frontman is still not happy with the track! Full story here. http://m.digitalspy.co.uk/music/news/a657964/avicii-made-600-versions-of-his-track-with-coldplay-frontman-chris-martin.html#~pikIYxA75DBmgk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[email protected]. Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Thats what I call obsession. By the way, does there exist a version where it is Chris himself singing, besides the live version?? It seems to me that if I search on Youtube I end up listening to some other version.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grids Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 AVICII PRAISES COLDPLAY’S CHRIS MARTIN IN RECENT INTERVIEW KSPENCE <time class="updated" datetime="2015-07-17" style="box-sizing: border-box;">JULY 17, 2015 </time> It’s hard to find a fault in working with Chris Martin. The Coldplay frontman has proven that his vocals are one of a kind, from his work with Kanye West all the way into the world of EDM. Though we first got a taste of how well Chris Martin sounded in Swedish House Mafia‘s remix of “Every Teardrop is a Waterfall” a few years back, now we’re starting to see his work as a featured vocalist on Avicii’s new album Stories. It’s already been revealed that their collab is called “Heaven,” but in a recent interview, Avicii went more in-depth about the creative process. Chris is one of the most artistic people I’ve ever met. And a perfectionist. We did like, 600 versions of the song and still he’s asking me to tweak the vocals. Working with people like Chris Martin, Nile Rodgers, and Mac David have allowed Avicii to gain confidence in his music-making abilities, which we’ll hear plenty of when Stories is released this year. The track was co-written by Chris Martin, but Simon Aldred – the singer from “Waiting For Love” with Martin Garrix – is the one performing on this, the most recent version of the track. We will have to wait and see what the final version sounds like, but this surely works to set the stage for Avicii’s upcoming album Stories. We can’t wait. <iframe width="100%" height="450" scrolling="no" frameborder="no" src="https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/212453773&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false&visual=true"></iframe> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grids Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 WOW what a disappointment of a song! Lol, I thought you were about to say something good! Well yeah, this song is too EDMish. I kinda like it but not my favorite. ASFOS is much better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mboy114 Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 I read that for the time being Chris isn't going to be singing the version that's out there and that he's going to wait until he's made a version that he enjoys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, because why would you make 600 versions of a vocal recording and then use an entirely different singer? This makes sense.

Sparky Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 This could be going the way that 'The Streets - Dry Your Eyes' went. Chris didn't like the version they made and then it ended up becoming The Streets only. We got to hear it in the end though, via a leak or something.

timyyy Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 House music DJ Nicky Romero played on the 27th of april this song with the vocals of Chris Martin in memory of Avicii. He said (in dutch) that he received the finished version of the song from Avicii before he died. [MEDIA=vimeo]267078044[/MEDIA] Mobile Link: https://vimeo.com/267078044 During the documentary "Avicii: True Stories", is a short clip when Avicii finished the song A Sky Full of Stars with Chris... ...and he did the vocals for the song "Heaven". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BHdFLSAlAWE Mobile Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BHdFLSAlAWE 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coldplaykb Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 I have the Simon Aldred version on my Iphone.I have that one as well but it's just not the same. No offense to Simon but I think Chris just does the song a much better justice. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
