In the current climate, when getting together as a band is fairly impossible, the Singaporean music initiative Music Matters decided to bring artists back together – at least over the miracle that is the Internet.
Pierre and Chuck from Simple Plan took the role of hosts of a special collaborative livestream today on Music Matters‘ YouTube channel, where they were joined by the Australian band Sheppard, singer Quest from the Philippines, American rapper Lil J, Singaporean singer Rriley and Indonesian singer Teddy Adhitya. In the beginning, all artists introduced themselves and Pierre and Chuck kept the conversation going by quizzing them about topics such as productivity and creativity in isolation and then also introduced their music by playing a few clips from each of the artists’ songs.
The highlight of the livestream however was when all the artists presented the special collaboration they did together on Simple Plan’s song ‘Summer Paradise’, hence creating another version of this popular summer hit. According to Pierre, Sebastien started it by recording his guitars and then passing it onto Pierre, after which Jeff and David did their parts, Chuck added the drums by slapping his knees, after which the rest of the artists added their own flavor to this special version of ‘Summer Paradise’.
