Available from this Thursday, June 17 on Amazon Prime Video, the Prime Day Show invites the public to discover in thirty minutes, the universe and the history of the three artists through performances halfway between the live, the clip and the cinema. The ambition is to attract music lovers to the platform but also to offer a more satisfying online concert, “revolutionary” even promises Amazon, than the proposals made here and there since the start of the coronavirus pandemic. Deal ?
Very distinct atmospheres
In the first episode of this unprecedented experience, the 23-year-old American singer HER brings the Dunbar Hotel in Los Angeles to life for a moment. Once known as an emblematic place of African-American culture in the 1930s and 1940s, this hotel has hosted the greatest jazz legends: Louis Armstrong, Ella Fitzgerald and Duke Ellington. Guided by a “good fairy” character, HER will invest this legendary place and pay tribute to it by playing the music of his new album, Back of My Mind.
Then it’s up to Kid Cudi. The rapper takes the helm of the Prime Day Show and flies off to space for a lunar performance to say the least. In this second episode, inspired by the album Man On the Moon III, of which he interprets many pieces for the show, Kid Cudi puts on his astronaut suit and leaves Earth for a cosmic expedition. For the occasion, Kid Cudi collaborated with the International Space Orchestra, the world’s premier orchestra made up of scientists from NASA’s Ames Research Center, the SETI Institute and the International Space University to create a visually very successful show and defying the laws of gravity.
Then, for the last episode of the show, Billie Eilish takes a melancholy stroll through the most beautiful districts of Paris. From a sumptuous Parisian apartment to cafes in the capital via a retro cinema, the young artist – used to experimenting with live concerts – brings his journey to life by interpreting, with his soft and bewitching voice, songs from his new album, Happier Than Ever, which should see the light of day this summer. The singer also announced that a collection of merchandise from her new album will be available exclusively on Amazon on June 18, concurrent with the Prime Day Show.
A performance that keeps its promises?
“3 artists, 1 epic event”, this is how Amazon presents the concept of its Prime Day Show. While concerts are reinventing themselves online in the face of the pandemic and even being exported to Fortnite, this immersive experience breaks the codes of traditional live shows and offers the opportunity for the three artists to express their creativity by immersing the public in their universe. , remotely. Mixing between music, unique sets and cinematographic performances, this Prime Day Show is reminiscent of a long clip at (very) good budget or a documentary series and invites to travel, through time and space.
All three episodes are available to all viewers with or without a Prime subscription for 30 days on the Amazon platform.
