According to The Guardian, Milla Jovovich will be collaborating with other artists to record a new version of the 1987 Midnight Oil single “Beds are Burning” as part of the recently announced Kofi Annan Campaign for Climate Justice. The single will be released for free download in September 2009 to raise awareness for the cause. From The Guardian:
Geldof will work with artists including Duran Duran on the initiative, unveiled at the Cannes Lions International Advertising Festival. The plan to record a new version of Beds are Burning marks the launch of former UN secretary general Kofi Annan’s Campaign for Climate Justice to raise awareness of the disproportionate affect of global warming on the world’s poorest communities. The campaign’s aim is to galvanise the global public to put pressure on world leaders to take stringent climate change measures at the critical United Nations summit in Copenhagen in December to secure a new treaty to replace the Kyoto protocol.
One feature of the campaign will be a We Are The World-style collaborative single, featuring artists including Geldof, Duran Duran and actress Milla Jovovich, recording a reworded version of Midnight Oil’s 1987 protest song Beds are Burning. The Australian band has reworked some of the lyrics to make it directly relevant to the climate change issue. The single will be released as a free music download from September both to raise awareness and act as a “giant digital petition” by those who download it.
