Muse just announced the release of their newest album in collaboration with the Polygon-based NFT platform: Serenade. “Will of the People” will be the ninth studio album of the iconic rock band Muse. Set to release on August 26th on Serenade’s platform.
Formed in 2014, Muse have won NME Award for Best British Band in 2007, 2010, and 2011, MTV Europe Music Award for Best World Stage Performance in 2019, and Grammy Award for Best Rock Album in 2011 and 2016. Back in 2020, Mused also worked with Dapper Lab’s CryptoKitties project to create digital collectibles.
“Will of the People” will be sold via Serenade, the “eco-friendly” NFT platform. According to Serenade’s website, the platform uses layer-2 solution Polygon to mint NFTs. The company calls Polygon’s proof-of-stake (PoS) mechanism “far more efficient” than Ethereum’s current proof-of-work (PoW) consensus algorithm.
A £20 ($24.50) purchase will get fans a downloadable version of the album as high-resolution FLAC files containing digital signatures of the members of Muse.
