Excelent cover version from the beautiful American singer-songwriter and producer, Alex Isley, daughter of Ernie Isley of the prolific soul group the Isley Brothers.
As of June 2021, Juneteenth has finally become a federal holiday in the United States. The holiday, celebrating the emancipation of enslaved African-Americans as a rebellion against states of the Union, has gone incredibly mainstream since it became a federal holiday, with companies slowly dragging the date away from its original purpose in the name of capitalism. But some entities have looked to uphold the significance of Juneteenth and the celebration of liberated Blackness. And Apple Music is doing so through song and dance with a curated playlist that honors the day.
On June 10th, Apple Music released a playlist to celebrate Juneteenth titled "Juneteenth 2022: Freedom Songs." The collection of 16 original tracks and covers follows a cohesive theme of Black empowerment, liberation, and soul. The project consists of the following talented artists: 6LACK, Lupe Fiasco, Brittney Spencer, Bun B, Cautious Clay, Damien Sneed, Denzel Curry, Eladio Carrión, Elena Pinderhughes, Jlin, Koryn Hawthorne, Kranium, Moliy, SEB, WSTRN, and the wonderful Alex Isley.
Along with the Juneteenth celebration, Apple Music has unleashed a global campaign to celebrate Black music with their Black Music Month: The Future playlist, aiming to highlight Black artists of tomorrow who are making noise now. Both playlists are available to stream now on Apple Music.
Exclusively for the Freedom playlist Isley shared her cover version of "We Are One" by Maze featuring Frankie Beverly. An excelent cover!
