Changin’ The Climate
Amy Winehouse, The Killers and The Rolling Stones have decided to work with a group of Cuban musicians on an album that’s being recorded to fight climate change.
They’ll perform duets with Rhythms Del Mundo on the CD, titled Classics, and the proceeds from the album will go to fund climate change projects as well as natural disaster relief around the globe.
The album will have some spectacular musical moments with The Killers singing The Eagles’ Hotel California, and The Rolling Stones doing The Drifters’ classic Under the Boardwalk.
But you’ll also hear Winehouse’s covering Sam Cooke’s Cupid and, on a track that’s destined to stand out, Fall Out Boy and John Mayer getting together to cover Michael Jackson’s Beat It.
The first Rhythms Del Mundo album was released three years ago and included an all-star cast of Cuban musicians as well as the Arctic Monkeys, Dido, U2, Coldplay, Sting, Jack Johnson, Maroon 5, Franz Ferdinand and Kaiser Chiefs. Proceeds from the CD went to the non-profit environmental org, Artists Project Earth.
The new CD is due for release in July.
