NEWPORT BEACH, CA. (Top40 Charts/ MADMUSE) - After the global success of the album and music video/alshort film 'Gone,' singer-songwriter/activist Bill Madden, once again, moves beyond the conventional, bringing the calamity of world poverty and homelessness into focus in a collaboration of sight and sound.
Bill Madden and renowned Parisian photographer Rodolphe Simeon, whose 'Street People' photos pull in thousands of viewers on Flickr, announced today that they are collaborating on Madden's new album cover for 'Child of the Same God.' The album is set for release October 14, 2008 via MADMUSE.
This collaboration celebrates and unites music and photography by merging a mutual message shared by two unique artists.
'I was looking for something provocative that was symbolic of the album title. Rod's art introduces us to people we would rather turn away from and ignore. The photography is powerful imagery by an incredibly talented artist and I'm honored to have his work on my album cover,' said Madden.
'Bill Madden is an exceptionally aware artist. His music and lyrics are haunting, poetic, and refreshingly relevant to what's happening in the world today. This is a special project and I'm excited to be a part of it,' said Simeon.
