New Queen track debuts as part of Coca-Cola (RED) campaign

A previously unreleased Queen song has been mixed by William Orbit exclusively for the Coca-Cola (RED) campaign.

The track, Let Me Be In Your Heart Again, kicks off the new global movement to help end mother-to-child transmission of HIV with the launch of a new campaign, titled Share The Sound of an AIDS Free Generation (www.iTunes.com/REDSound). The campaign will feature an array of top artists as they debut new music and offer exclusive experiences encouraging people to come together, and to give.

ā€œItā€™s been 23 years since the world lost our beloved Freddie Mercury,ā€ said Queen guitarist Brian May. ā€œWeā€™ve made extraordinary progress in the fight against AIDS in that time. But we cannot simply rest on the fact that the treatment is available. We must ensure that it is provided. Roger and I are proud to lend this rediscovered song to the (Coca-Cola) RED campaign, in the hope that Freddieā€™s powerful voice can inspire the world yet again.ā€

Funds raised from the campaign will go directly to The Global Fund to fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria to finance grants which provide HIV prevention, testing, counseling, treatment, and care services.

ā€œOne of the primary goals behind the movement of this campaign is to use the power of music to rally the millennial generation in realising that an AIDS free world is within reach,ā€ said Emmanuel Seuge, Vice President, Global Alliances & Ventures, The Coca-Cola Company. ā€œWe are grateful to all of the artists who are joining us in this remarkable effort.ā€

The month-long global programme runs through to World AIDS Day on December 1st 2014.
