About the Work

We created an album that reimagined classic wedding songs, flipping the pronouns to upend norms and challenge conventional notions of love songs, which have traditionally been written from a heterosexual point of view. Using musicians to create content, we enlisted contributors who have been at the forefront of cultural revolution, like Bob Dylan. With these iconic artists (Dylan, Kesha, Benjamin Gibbard, St. Vincent, Kele Okereke, and Valerie June), who spanned genres, generations and sexual orientations, we recorded new versions of classic love songs. The new soundtrack formed the center of a campaign that lived across digital, social and retail to create multiple touch points for people to experience the project and brand.
