This week MTV Iggy announced that Gyptian, who is gearing up
for his upcoming six-song SLR EP, was chosen for "Cover the World."
This is a partnership with Chevrolet in which four global musical artists (Gyptian
along with South Korea's WonderGirls, Australia's Angus Stone, and America's All Time
Low) will each cover an iconic song chosen by fans online. Each artist will
bring their own regional flavor to the recording to celebrate the arrival of
the 2013 Chevrolet Spark in the United States and Canada.
Fans will vote at www.covertheworld.com for the "Cover the World"
artists to reinvent one of the following songs: "Don't Know
Why" by Norah Jones, "True Colors" by Cyndi Lauper, "Hit Me With Your Best
Shot" by Pat Benatar, "You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet" by Bachman-Turner Overdrive,
"Son of a Preacher Man" by Dusty Springfield and "Take On Me" by A-Ha. The voters
will earn a chance to win a custom-wrapped Chevy Spark, as well as a VIP trip for two to
see one of the featured acts perform live. Fans can also create, upload and
share their own cover version for a chance to win this new sporty
four-passenger, five-door hatch.
MTV Iggy and Chevrolet will announce the song selected by
fans on Monday, September 17th.
The following month (Oct 16), Gyptian returns with his SLR
EP, while he preps for his 2013 full-length studio album Sex, Love & Reggae
on VP Records. The digital-only EP follows Gyptian’s critically acclaimed
Billboard Top 200 album Hold You and its title-track smash produced by Ricky Blaze -
which sold over 500,000 digital downloads, led to a stellar remix with Nicki
Minaj and dominated rhythmic radio in 2010 (chosen as NYC's HOT 97 FM #2 Song of
The Year). SLR is a spicy yet sweet mix of love songs featuring Gyptian’s
freshest hits (“My Number One,” “Overtime,” “One More Night,” “All Over” and “Wine
Slow”) as well as the never-before-heard track “My Royal Love.”
