Lily Allen, Jarvis Cocker, MIA to team up with Beastie Boys
Brooklyn trio get Brits on board for next project
Lily Allen, Jarvis Cocker and MIA are among the acts set to lay down vocals over Beastie Boys music, it was reported today.
According to Adam ‘MCA’ Yauch, the band are in discussions with a variety of artists who will put vocals on a new version of their recently-released instrumental album ‘The Mix-Up’.
Speaking to Billboard.com, Yauch said the aforementioned acts will be involved, and "a bunch of British people" and described the concept as “like a different version of the album, with a bunch of people guesting on it."
He also said they may put together Super 8 footage filmed on this tour to make a movie-version of the album, saying “While we were in Singapore we filmed stuff, and in Australia and different places. We're talking about cutting it together into a full-length film that kinda goes the length of the album."
