OneRepublic have released a behind-the-scenes video about the inspiration for their instrumental track Singapore, which is found on their sixth and latest album Artificial Paradise, released on July 12.
The 58-second clip, a collaboration with the American pop-rock band's label Universal Music Singapore (UMSG) and the Singapore Tourism Board (STB), dropped on social media on Oct 24.
It features frontman Ryan Tedder and keyboardist Brian Willett walking around locations such as Marina One, the Peranakan Museum, Armenian Street and the Old Hill Street Police Station.
OneRepublic say in a press statement about their musical tribute to the Lion City: "This island is both eclectic and modern. When we wrote the track in Singapore, we were inspired by the colourful juxtaposition of the modern and heritage buildings set in this cultural melting pot."
Willett, the primary songwriter of Singapore, says in the video: "With this track specifically, it's like an external portrayal of creativity."
Tedder adds: "The first time I heard Singapore fully mixed, I (could) see buildings shooting up from the ocean, the streets, the tapestry of creativity."
Filming took place while the band were here for a headlining set at the Formula One Singapore Airlines Singapore Grand Prix 2024. The group performed at the Padang on Sept 20 and played Singapore during the set.
