MANILA, PHILIPPINES — Coke Studio, in preparation for its eight season in the Philippines, has launched a limited-edition Coke Studio Video Vinyl, a retro-themed creation via WPP Open X, led by Ogilvy Singapore.
The collector’s edition Video Vinyl records celebrate Coke Studio’s spirit of collision of bringing together artists from different worlds to create fresh sounds, the brand said.
The designs employ the Zoetrope technique, one of the earliest forms of animation format, to bring the vinyl record artwork to life when spinning. Each vinyl showcases a song from Season 07, a track born from the collaboration of multiple Filipino music legends and rising stars and music icons from today’s generation.
The intricate details of the design itself feature the diverse artists that breathe life into each song, offering both a visual and auditory narrative. “Coke Studio has crafted what can be deemed the flipbook for the digital age of music, creating a mesmerizing visual experience that complements the audio, while captivating music enthusiasts and collectors alike,” said a release.
Teejae Sonza, Senior Marketing Director for Coca-Cola Trademark in ASEAN & South Pacific, said that the release of the Video Vinyls serves as a sneak peek of what to expect in the upcoming season of Coke Studio in the Philippines, but also alludes to some fan-focused surprises for Coke Studio in other countries across ASEAN & South Pacific.
“Coke Studio thrives on the beauty of fusion and the wonderful serendipity of unexpected harmonies and genres,” said Teejae. “These Video Vinyls capture the magic of Coke Studio in a unique format, reflecting our commitment to blending artistic mediums and musical genres in a way that excites and inspires.”
Coca-Cola engaged some of the visionary illustrators of today such as Vanilla Chi, Rakhmat Jaka, and Mathieu Labrecque to imbue the artwork of these collectibles with hidden gems, secret messages, and shoutouts that echo the stories of the musical artists. These easter eggs are a treasure trove, a love letter to true music fans, rewarding them with a deeper connection to the artists and the music.
Nikhil Panjwani, Executive Creative Director at Ogilvy Singapore, said, “The Coke Studio Video Vinyl is analog and digital at the same time, retro yet totally now. It’s a celebration of yesteryears tailored for today’s sensory explorers. It’s music you can see and hear – a true embodiment of Real Magic.”
