Deezer creates ‘Childhood Memories’ cover tunes created by global artists from France, Brazil and Latin America. They have revealed their favourite childhood songs in a brand new Deezer Originals album called ‘Childhood Memories’. The album is an exclusive compilation series featuring covers of beloved tracks by global artists like Lost Frequencies and Faouzia. Each artist hand-picked a nostalgic track representing a specific happy time or memory from their past.
‘Childhood Memories’ features Belgian DJ and producer, Lost Frequencies, who reimagines ‘Beggin’’ by Madcon with a euphoric dance beat that gives this classic hip hop track a fresh club vibe. The album also features local editions with a total of 19 artists across France, Brazil, Latin America and the Middle East. The launch follows the hugely successful ‘Souvenirs d’enfance’ in France, a collection of 12 exclusive nostalgic childhood tracks and one of Deezer’s most successful music Originals to date.
The line-up of global artists include:
- Lost Frequencies: ‘Beggin’ by Madcon
- Faouzia: ‘Hung Up’ by Madonna
Nigel Harding, Deezer’s Global VP of Artist Relations said, “Music has the power to take you back to a specific moment in time. We asked each artist to take that trip down memory lane, giving our fans a glimpse into the music that shaped who they are today. ‘Childhood Memories’ is truly a global affair, with a diverse mix of artists from around the world putting their own unique spin on classic hits.”
