As the United States of America welcomes the President-elect Joe Biden and Vice-president-elect Kamala Harris, 46 playlist has been released to celebrate the inauguration.
The list was released on January 19, 2021 ahead of the January 20, 2021 inauguration.
One of Burna Boy’s song from the album, ‘African Giant’ Destiny, has made the official 46-track playlist by US President-elect Joe Biden and vice-president-elect Kamala Harris ahead of their inauguration on January 20, 2021.
The song, ‘Destiny,’ is about the power of providence and trying to achieve greatness amidst trouble and people’s opinion. The song is off Burna Boy’s Grammy-nominated album, African Giant.
The playlist was put together by American music producer and rapper, DJ D-Nice, and actress, Issa Rae’s Radio in partnership with the Presidential Inaugural Committee.
The chief executive of the Presidential Inaugural Committee, Tony Allen, said, “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.”
Burna Boy is fast becoming a regular update on Celebs’s playlists and even on ex-President of United States of America, Obama, in August 2020, alongside other artists like Wizkid, Tems and Rema.
Asides from Burna Boy, other international stars on the playlist including Bill Withers, (‘Lovely Day’), Marvin Gaye (‘Got to Give It Up – Pt. 1’), Bruce Springsteen (‘We Take Care of Our Own’), Kendrick Lamar (‘Now or Never’), Bob Marley & The Wailers (‘Could You Be Loved’), Jill Scott (‘Golden’) and Dua Lipa (‘Levitating’), among others.
