11/13: Janelle Monae Covers "Winter Wonderland" and "Jingle Bells" for Gap Campaign
Janelle Monae's Gap promo campaign has gone live on a
special MerryMixIt! site. She is featured in a pair of remake commercials. The first is "Winter Wonderland" where she is joined by a dancing Jon Heder. Unfortunately, the video embedding features appears to need a little work, so I am not going to embed it into this post. However, you can
watch it here.
The second is "Jingle Bells," (
ArjanWrites.com was right) where she participates in a mega mix of the classic that also features Trey Songz, Flo Rida, The Dixie Chicks, Freddy Rodriguez, Romany Malco, Jason Biggs, Heder, Selma Blair, Rainn Wilson and Sandra Bernhard.
Watch it now.
In addition to viewing the commercials, you can also create your own mix of "Jingle Bells" by selecting the people you want to see through their Merry Mixer. It's limited in flexibility, but you can choose Ms. Monae as the singer two out of three times (for the chorus and first verse), which will allow you to see and hear more of her than you did in the official commercial. For your viewing pleasure, I
mixed this up and it's available now. Judging from the
link that they gave me, mine is the ninth mix to be created.
In all, I'm really liking this campaign. Good sound, good visuals. It's a great opportunity for Ms. Monae.
