Chainsmokers to reimagine songs by icons
Published: 13 Jun. 2018, 18:14
The Grammy Award-winning duo told The Associated Press about its plans for the Pepsi Generations Summer Music Campaign at the Hollywood Palladium in Los Angeles on July 24. The campaign was created to honor decades of music icons by placing their images on Pepsi cans.
Alex Pall and Drew Taggart also will perform some of their own greatest hits as The Chainsmokers, including “Roses,” “Closer” and “Don’t Let Me Down.” But the challenge of reimagining songs from music’s biggest stars is something else.
“We’re kind of nervous,” Pall said. “But lucky for us, they have an endless amount of songs that are extremely popular that people love to hear. We just have to figure out how to mix everything in. I think it’ll be a cool experience for us. We don’t get to play a lot of Ray Charles at our shows.”
Taggart said they’ll probably cover Beyonce’s “Single Ladies” and “Run the World (Girls).” He’s looking forward to seeing the crowd’s response.
Tickets go on sale on Wednesday, and the show is expected to have several surprise guest performances.
