Performers from different genres composed new tracks, while others recorded cover songs for the second annual “Juneteenth 2022: Freedom Songs” playlist, which launches Friday on the streaming platform.
Brittney Spencer performs during CMA Fest 2022 in Nashville on June 9, 2022, left, 6lack performs at the Coachella Music & Arts Festival in Indio, Calif., on April 22, 2018, center, and Lupe Fiasco performs at the Harley-Davidson 110th Anniversary celebration in Milwaukee, Wis., on Aug. 29, 2013. Spencer, 6lack and Lupe Fiasco are among the artists who have recorded songs honoring Juneteenth for Apple Music.
“Music is the tie that binds our Black experience in the U.S. and the world,” said Ebro Darden, global head of hip-hop and R&B at Apple Music. “Being able to create covers and original music with artists from all genres of music is the perfect way to continue to celebrate the Black experience and continue our collective work for true freedom.”
“I try to make things that establish emotion and utility so that not only can people feel it, but they can actually do something with it,” said the Grammy-winning rapper. “There’s only so much utility you can have in music, but it all boils back down to education and instruction. ‘Galveston’ is about taking Juneteenth, which is normally a celebration of a very specific set of events — the manumission from slavery of Black folks — and approaching it from a different angle.
