Radiohead and Hans Zimmer for Blue Planet II


14 09 2017

Award winning rockers Radiohead have collaborated with legendary film composer Hans Zimmer to create an exclusive track for Sir Sir David Attenborough's upcoming BBC series, Blue Planet II, released September 27.

The track, described as 'an orchestrally reimagined version of the Radiohead song Bloom', is inspired by the sounds of the documentary series, and the band's frontman Thom Yorke commented 'Bloom was inspired by the original Blue Planet series so it’s great to be able to come full circle with the song and reimagine it for this incredible landmark’s sequel. Hans is a prodigious composer who effortlessly straddles several musical genres so it was liberating for us all to work with such a talent and see how he wove the sound of the series and Bloom together'.
