Idles Create Deepfake Video with Chris Martin for New Single “Grace”
-
Idles enlisted Chris Martin to help create a deepfake video for their new song "Grace" that recreates Coldplay's "Yellow" video with Martin singing Idles' song.
-
The video idea came to Idles singer Joe Talbot in a dream; Martin helped train the AI and ensure his fake vocal performance looked real.
-
"Grace" is from Idles' upcoming 5th album Tangk, produced by Nigel Godrich, Kenny Beats and Idles' guitarist.
-
Prior singles from Tangk include "Gift Horse" and "Dancer," the latter featuring James Murphy and Nancy Whang.
-
Idles have extensive tour dates planned through March in UK/Europe and May-September in North America.
