HEINEKEN® has teamed up with world-famous electropop duo The Chainsmokers to launch its “Refresh Your Music, Refresh Your Nights” campaign in Asia. The cross-genre, cross-culture platform allows fans of different cultures, tribes, and music preferences to come together to expand their music tastes.
In collaboration with The Chainsmokers, the campaign features four local artists – two from Vietnam and two from Malaysia who will refresh The Chainsmokers’ hit songs in their own distinctive style.
Representing Malaysia is Yunohoo, a trilingual rapper with deep roots in hip-hop. She will perform alongside singer-songwriter NYK, whose experimental approach and diverse taste in music has helped him create the unique and versatile sound that he is known for today.
“We are thrilled to be a part of HEINEKEN®’s Refresh Your Music, Refresh Your Nights campaign. We have always believed that music has the power to break any barriers, and that is why this campaign resonated with us. We are excited to perform with some of the most well-loved artists from the region and introduce people to new genres of music” says The Chainsmokers.
By refreshing these popular songs, HEINEKEN® hopes to introduce more fans to broader musical genres. As the campaign’s grand finale, The Chainsmokers will headline a pair of concerts in Asia for fans along with the four local artists. The Malaysian edition will be held on 9th December in Genting Highlands, where the local artists, NYK and Yunohoo will perform their refreshed renditions alongside The Chainsmokers.
Yunohoo shares, “I am beyond excited to be a part of Heineken® Music and can’t wait to see how I can work my own artistry to a track by The Chainsmokers! Throughout my years in the industry, I have had the opportunity to explore many different avenues, and I look forward to bringing a refreshing new take on how fans can enjoy music through ‘Refresh Your Music, Refresh Your Nights’ this year.”
NYK adds, “Exploring different music genres has always been a huge part of my creative process – I am often inspired by different sounds, beats and arrangements that help me see this art of sound in a new light. Being a part of ‘Refresh Your Music, Refresh Your Nights’ is exciting to me as I will be able to add my own flair to well-known tracks by The Chainsmokers so that it can be heard in a new light.”
