Celebrate Earth Day With New Music Featuring the Sounds of Nature
Music has the power to connect us to one another and to the world around us. Spotify is once again teaming up with the Museum for the United Nations – UN Live’s Sounds Right initiative to celebrate that connection and amplify the sounds of nature.
Since launching NATURE as an official artist on Spotify and other streaming platforms last year, Sounds Right has highlighted its beauty to millions. This year, the initiative’s Earth Day celebration includes new tracks from more than 30 artists where NATURE is a featured artist—from birdsong and crashing waves to glaciers and rainforest wildlife.
This unique collection of songs can be found in the feat. NATURE playlist featured within the Sounds Right shelf on Spotify, with the tracks crediting NATURE supporting its conservation.
From classical compositions to pop anthems, the new music showcases a diverse range of global talent. The lineup includes French composer Yann Tiersen, Indian pop sensation Armaan Malik, electronic powerhouse Steve Angello of Swedish House Mafia, Seattle indie-rocker SYML, and Indian American singer-songwriter Raveena. These artists follow in the footsteps of previous NATURE collaborators like Brian Eno, Ellie Goulding, and Lykke Li.
Spotify will also amplify Sounds Right’s mission year-round, spotlighting a new single featuring NATURE each quarter. To kick us off this Earth Day, we’re highlighting three tracks from the new batch of releases: “Wake (in the Olympic Mountains and the Puget Sound) feat. NATURE” by SYML, “What In The World (feat. NATURE)” by Armaan Malik, and “Morning Prayer (feat. NATURE)” by Raveena. Spotify will promote these songs on- and off-platform, celebrating each artist’s unique approach to incorporating nature into their work.
“I’m honored to be a part of the NATURE project,” said SYML. “Nature surrounds us all, but I particularly love nature from my part of the world. I chose some lovely sounds from the Olympic mountain range and Puget Sound region in Washington State. The mountains and waterways are a big part of how I was raised, and now I’m pleased to bring up my own children in the beauty of the Pacific Northwest. No matter where we find ourselves, it’s up to all of us to take care of what was here before, leaving it only better.”
NATURE has been making waves on Spotify, reaching more than 11 million listeners over the past year. By providing a platform for Sounds Right and this innovative initiative, Spotify is helping to build awareness and inspire climate action in a way that feels authentic and impactful.
