Yes We Can: Voices Of A Grassroots Movement
CD Inspired By Barack Obama’s
Presidential Campaign
Inspired by the grassroots movement created by Barack Obama’s presidential run, Hidden Beach Recordings has assembled a compilation CD that “taps into the creative community’s overwhelming response to the campaign’s universal themes of hope, unity, and change.
”
The eighteen-song disc, Yes We Can: Voices Of A Grassroots Movement, borrows its name from one of the campaign’s central messages. Artists appearing on the disc include Stevie Wonder, Sheryl Crow, John Mayer, Kanye West, Jill Scott, Los Lonely Boys, Jackson Browne, BeBe Winans, Lionel Richie, Adam Levine, Keb’ Mo’, and John Legend. The project features current and classic material as well as speech excerpts from the Democratic nominee, which are embedded throughout.
Yes We Can: Voices Of A Grassroots Movement is available via both digital download and hardcopy CD exclusively on the Obama campaign’s official Web site (www.BarackObama.com), with all proceeds benefiting the campaign’s fundraising efforts ($19.95 for digital download; $24.95 for physical CD). Following the November 4 election, the disc will be made available beginning November 11 via hiddenbeach.com as well as at retail outlets worldwide. Plans call for Hidden Beach to donate a portion of the proceeds to a number of charitable organizations as voted on by fans who purchase the CD.
