This unique collection of songs is released as part of Sounds Right, an initiative that made history by launching NATURE as an official artist on streaming platforms for the first time last year, highlighting its beauty to millions while generating significant royalties for global conservation. The new tracks feature an eclectic mix of artists, including GRAMMY winners and rising stars across multiple genres. Breton musician and multi-instrumentalist Yann Tiersen, Indian pop sensation Armaan Malik, electronic powerhouse Steve Angello (Swedish House Mafia), Seattle indie-rocker SYML, and Indian-American singer-songwriter Raveena are among the key contributors. They are joined by artists such as Maejor, Rozzi, George The Poet, Rosa Walton, Penguin Cafe, Madame Gandhi, Franc Moody, and many more. Representing countries including the UK, US, India, Japan, Colombia, Russia, Denmark, and Argentina, these artists span a diverse range of musical styles - from classical (Evgeny Grinko) and Indian pop (Armaan Malik) to hip-hop (KAM-BU) and techno (Amelie Lens). They follow in the footsteps of the likes of Brian Eno, Ellie Goulding, and Lykke Li, who have collaborated with NATURE previously. Each artist has taken a unique approach to incorporating nature into their work, using sounds recorded in forests, oceans, and urban green spaces. Some tracks feature field recordings from celebrated sound recordist Martyn Stewart and The Listening Planet, while others integrate the artists’ own environmental recordings, making each piece a deeply personal tribute to the natural world. |
