Globe has been working with Google Nest to deliver a ‘shot-at-home’ project featuring five of our artists across Polydor, Virgin EMI, Island Records and Capitol Records.
Launched last month, from 10am each day, Google Nest hosted Nest Sessions – three days of mood-lifting music, home activities and conversations with Jessie Ware, Olly Alexander, Celeste,Mae Muller, Sam Tompkins. Google's Nest Sessions was designed to help you transition into the bank holiday mood, literally. Hosted by Laura Whitmore, Nest Sessions was curated around three moods designed to ENERGISE, INSPIRE and CHILL.
With the nation spending more time than ever at home, moving from the week to the weekend often blurs into one. There are key transitional moments in the day when people need to change gear, re-set and adjust their mood. The three mood states - energise, inspire and chill - were identified as reflective of the most common transitions people make in a day, which are naturally work, play and rest. A new study conducted by Google Nest and cognitive neuroscientist, Dr Diana Omigie and Goldsmith’s University showed how music plays a key role in this.
UMG artists Jessie Ware, Olly Alexander, Celeste, Sam Tompkins and Mae Muller helped set the mood with music performances filmed at their homes, on their phones, for Google Nest. Not only were there five unique performances, but Jessie Ware shared a brilliant video of her pulling together ‘Benny’s drunken crouton and kale salad’ from a make-shift kitchen with her usual flare, and Olly Alexander took some time to share the books that have inspired him from a teenager through to lockdown.
