IDLES launch new single, "Grace" with deepfake recreation of Coldplay's "Yellow" music video
IDLES have shared the official music video for “Grace'' ahead of their fifth studio album, TANGK.
The concept for the video came to IDLES frontman Joe Talbot in a dream. It is a recreation of Coldplay’s iconic “Yellow” video, but with deepfake AI tech used to give the impression that Chris Martin is instead singing “Grace”. Talbot spoke to Martin about the idea shortly after his dream, and the Coldplay frontman not only gave his blessing to make the idea a reality, but also later helped to train the AI to make his vocal performance look more realistic.
"Grace" follows previous singles “Gift Horse” and “Dancer”, which featured guest backing vocals from LCD Soundsystem duo James Murphy and Nancy Whang.
After a whirlwind few days in New York last week where the band stopped by The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon to deliver another iconic performance, IDLES are now back on home soil in the UK for their album pop up shop in Shoreditch and a weekend of special shows in Kingston, London and Bristol to celebrate TANGK’s release.
TANGK will be released on 16 February via Partisan Records and is available to pre-order now. For more information on their live dates, visit idlesband.com.
