Newport song based on Alicia Keys' Empire State Of Mind |
|
Just been watching the BBC news while doing some LinkedIn work and heard a brilliant rip off, or “upgrade” of the Alicia Keys' Empire State Of Mind. The official title is Newport (Ymerodraeth State of Mind) if you search YouTube, or check it out below.
The core of the idea was to make it positive, not to go with the negative energy that many focus on but to celebrate the town of Newport and have fun making the video ... and it shows, brilliant. The whole production was done for an investment of less than £100 plus the time and energy of people with great talent that will fly in their chosen directions of the back of this. First job I’d suggest is for Newport council is to find £100,000 of EU funding to give to these guys as this summer 2010, tourists from New York to London will making a d-tour via Newport to see if for themselves, especially if Boris sends and email to his pals in NYC. Then hopefully these guys will then put some money into a programme to encourage those with no brass to just give it a go. To come up with ideas that celebrate their communities and make some noise. You might not get heard the first time but keep on trying and the most surprising things will happen. Enjoy the Newport song and tell your pals, what a great way to start each day this summer listening to this ... start the day with a SMILE |
