Simple Plan have just released their brand new music video for their newest rendition of their single Summer Paradise – feat. MKTO. The video includes scenes from the one year old music video for Summer Paradise feat. Sean Paul that was filmed in Barbados, but also a couple of never seen before footage from that taping. Most importantly though, the video consists of parts filmed in May 2013 with Malcolm Kelley and Tony Oller from the group MKTO.

Next weekend in Canada will be all about music and music videos as the Much Music Video Awards are being presented in Toronto on June 16th. But the celebration of music video as an art form will not stop there. The NE Creative Group, a young collective of film-makers from Canada, will be hosting their 5th annual gallery exhibition entitled “Art of Music Video”, displaying blown up still images from music videos and raw footage video installations from The NE Inc directors’ top music videos of the past year, to emphasize the artistry that goes into creating rock, hip-hop, and pop music art. According to the press release: “The exhibit is intended to blur the lines between photography and filmography while freezing moments from music videos, focusing the audience’s attention to the carefully constructed details that go into video production.”

Among the music videos selected to be shown at the Art of Music Video exhibition are also Randall RT! Thorne’s music video for Simple Plan’s song “Summer Paradise” and David F. Mewa’s video for “This Song Saved My Life”, also by Simple Plan.

The exhibition will take place in Toronto, Canada on June 15th and will be open to public from 3pm. A livestream of this event provided by BestFan.com should also be available via their Ustream channel.

Check out this another fantastic picture of Pierre from the set of the upcoming music video for Summer Paradise feat. MKTO that the guys filmed in California in May. The picture, along with the other shot of Pierre heading towards a van was taken by the photographer Adham Yousef:

In addition to the recently added pictures from the making of Summer Paradise feat. MKTO, here’s a little Vine video also from the set when you can see the members of MKTO and also Pierre from Simple Plan riding bikes:

Thanks to Giulia, here’s another picture from the set of the Summer Paradise music video that Chuck and Pierre from Simple Plan filmed with their latest collaborators on this song – the pop/rap duo MKTO. The video was filmed on May 15th in California, and on the picture that has been posted by Janelle, one of the models/actresses hired for the video, you can spot Tony and Malcolm from MKTO and also our very own Pierre Bouvier:

We’ve already known for a while that Pierre and Chuck have been collaborating with the guys from the US band MKTO on some music but it has only now been announced that it is not in fact MKTO’s music that the band members have been working on – but yet another version of Simple Plan’s Summer Paradise – this time featuring MKTO and made specially for Simple Plan’s US fans!

You can check out the cover of this new single in the gallery and listen to the song on Buzznet.com.

The single of the MKTO version of Summer Paradise will be out on iTunes on May 28th.

We still have to wait on a confirmation if the music video that Pierre and Chuck recently filmed with MKTO in California is indeed for Summer Paradise – but so far it looks like it could really be it!
