This Spotify exclusive series will showcase each of these star-studded guests’ personally picked songs (aka their anthems) for an emotional rollercoaster playlist. Listen to established legends and up-and-coming talent ranging from the field to the stage talk about how music has influenced their perspective, careers, and lives. Then host, Cari Champion, will give some contextual background, including why, when, and how these songs were culturally influenced.
Champion has been tethered to her career in journalism with the goal of giving a voice to Black people who have been gravely under-represented throughout media history. True to her mission, Champion will be guiding discussions with our guests about how music has made an impression on their careers and lives as a whole.
Music is powerful. Anthems are infectious. Through sound, we can learn about the past, experience the present, and guide the future. To be different. To be better. And whether it’s a Throwback Thursday or a New Music Friday, music connects us all.
Black Music Month encourages all of us to celebrate the incredible Black creators whose sounds and music empower our past, present, and future alike. We think it’s not only crucial to pay tribute to Black artists, but it’s important to recognize and encourage that their music is a tool towards racial equality and social change. Music has the power to uplift marginalized voices, cultivate diversity, and shape the future — our future.
