"...a reminder that music of all types is a common language."

Med bara dagar kvar tills att president Joe Biden och vice-president Kamala Harris officiellt installeras i Vita Huset har de nu presenterat sin spellista för det stora tillfället.

De 46 spåren “represents the diversity of our nation, and our strength and resilience as we look forward to new leadership and a new era in America”, och har kurerats av Benoni Tagoe, Issa Rae och DJ D-Nice’s plattform Raedio. Samlingen syftar till att “evoke joy and symbolize new beginnings” och innehåller låtar som bland annat Kendrick Lamar och Mary J. Bliges “Now Or Never”, Mac Millers “Blue World”, MF DOOMs “Coffin Nails”, SZAs “Good Days”, Steely Dans “Do It Again” och Bob Marley & The Wailers “Could You Be Loved”.

“As a brand that is founded on the principle of being an audio-everywhere company, we are honored to create the official playlist for the historic inauguration of President Elect Joe Biden Vice President Elect Kamala Harris. We know that music has the power to bring people together, and after a year of national challenges and division, we hope this collection serves as an indication of a new beginning, positive change and a reminder that music of all types is a common language”, säger Tagoe i ett uttalande.

“During a tumultuous year that has kept so many loved ones apart, music has been a consistent vehicle that has kept us connected. Whether you are a country soul, a jazz enthusiast, a hip hop head, a classical sort, or just love that old-time rock and roll, music clarifies, inspires, unites, and heals… These songs and artists reflect the relentless spirit and rich diversity of America. They are the score to a new chapter and will help bring people together as the Biden-Harris Administration begins its important work to unite our country”, tillägger installationskommitténs VD Tony Allen.
