A new visual album featuring some of the biggest names in music and film will provide football with an alternative soundtrack this summer – one that might just match the beauty and excitement of the
World Cup action on the pitch. The
Pepsi MAX Beats Of The Beautiful Game visual album was announced on
May 12th and features
11 songs – a combination of original tracks, exhilarating remixes and reimagined classics – with accompanying videos that celebrate the world's most popular sport.
Featuring tracks from
Kelly Rowland,
Janelle Monáe,
Rita Ora and
Timbaland with
Rachel Assil, as well as videos from directors such as
Idris Elba and
Spike Lee, the visual album attempts to illustrate the relationship between music, film and sport, while also capturing the unique flavour and passion of football. Each week,
Pepsi MAX will premiere songs off the album as singles on the
iTunes store, with accompanying filmtracks free to view the same day on
pepsi.com/thegame, as well as artists’
YouTube or
Vevo channels, thanks to
Davidprimer.
