Spotify announce Hendrix video exclusive
By CMU Editorial | Published on Friday 26 February 2010
Spotify has announced the first ever music video to appear on the music streaming service. Not only that, but it’s an exclusive, too. And it’s for a song by Jimi Hendrix. Oh, and it’s directed by Julien Temple. So that’s four good things already. Everyone at Spotify, you are hereby allowed to go and have a sit down in the comfiest chair available for the next 20 minutes.
The video for ‘Bleeding Heart’, a song which appears on new Hendrix rarities compilation ‘Valleys Of Neptune’, depicts Jimi performing at Glastonbury. Temple used some kind of black magic to create the video, as Hendrix never actually performed at that particular festival. How is it done? No one knows.
As well as the video, which is available now to all users, Spotify Premium subscribers will be able to listen to ‘Valleys Of Neptune’ from 4 Mar, ahead of its release on 8 Mar.
