Coke Studio ANZ releases first track ‘(Can’t Get You) Off My Mind’ by Tones And I, Young Franco and CHAII
5 July 2024, AUSTRALIA – Today, Coke Studio Australia and New Zealand launched its first-ever track, ‘(Can’t Get You) Off My Mind’, in collaboration with global star Tones And I, fellow Aussie artist and producer Young Franco and Kiwi artist and producer CHAII.
The new track and music video is now available on all streaming platforms, kicking off the first season of the Coke Studio platform in Australia and New Zealand.
Fans have been given an access all areas (AAA) pass to experience the journey of the track and music video being made, not only through the socials of all three artists but also on the official Coke Studio Hub.
Kate Miller, Senior Marketing Director at Coca‑Cola South Pacific said: “We are thrilled to release the first-ever Coke Studio ANZ anthem by the incredible Tones And I, Young Franco and CHAII. Watching these artists create something magical, a true collaboration of unique styles and sounds, has been an amazing journey. Today is a big day for us at Coca‑Cola as we proudly release the very first track from Coke Studio ANZ, ‘(Can’t Get You) Off My Mind’. We are so excited to share it with the world.
Coke Studio is about celebrating the magic that happens when people from different backgrounds come together. We can’t wait for you to listen, dance, and lose yourself in the music that truly encapsulates Coke Studio's spirit. Stream ‘(Can’t Get You) Off My Mind’ now on your favourite platform.”
Global Aussie star Tones And I said: "It was great to work with Young Franco and CHAII, and bring our fans along for the journey at Coke Studio. I think it's sick that Coke Studio celebrates the power of music in bringing people from different backgrounds, cultures, and styles together. It was a big collaboration for all of us, coming together to make something fun, which is what most music is, I think.”
New Zealand artist and producer CHAII said: “Getting to work with my Aussie pals has been exciting. We wanted to create a song full of energy that is soulful yet something you can dance to. It’s been a great journey and the friendships that came out of it have been the highlight for me. I hope you
enjoy what we have made and can create some fun memories like I did making the song with Tones And I and Young Franco."
Aussie artist and producer Young Franco said: “To work with Tones And I and CHAII has allowed me to experiment with different sounds, which, as an artist and producer, was such a great experience. Regarding the sound, we wanted to embody a funky era of disco in the song, a vibe that I love to incorporate in a lot of my own music. Despite the underlying nostalgic roots, the beat still feels modern and of the moment. It felt right to bring in some retro cues and modernise them to play on the heritage and culture of the Coke brand”.
The new track was performed at an exclusive launch event hosted by Coke Studio at Oxford Art Factory in Central Sydney on Thursday, 27 June, where hundreds of lucky fans saw the artists perform the song for the first time.
Check out the new track and video on YouTube, Apple Music and Spotify, and music fans can keep an eye out for future Coke Studio Australia and New Zealand artist collisions coming very soon via the Coke Studio Hub.
