The EP was directed by iconic music group, Coldplay, the curator of Global Citizen’s annual live music festivals and the manager Dave Holmes added;

“It was a real honor to help further the Global Citizen movement by putting together this release alongside Chris and Parlophone. We’ve ended up with so many incredible performers, and we’re all extremely proud of the finished EP. May it be the first of many.”
