New Radicals Unite for Democracy with Kamala Harris 🎶✨
In a revival of political activism through music, the New Radicals have joined forces with Kamala Harris to release a powerful anthem, “Forward (We're Not Going Back!)”, just in time for the 2024 elections! 🎤🏛️
A Blast from the Past
Originally, in 2012, Gregg Alexander and Danielle Brisebois made waves with their collaboration alongside artists like Ne-Yo and Herbie Hancock with the song "Forward" for Barack Obama’s campaign. Fast forward twelve years, and they are back! This time, they have teamed up again to spread a message of hope and action for the upcoming election with their latest track.
This musical project, dubbed "The Not So Silent Collective," highlights not just musicians but also artists across various platforms who rally behind democratic values. ⚡🌍 From Jeff Bridges to David Hogg, they’re all speaking out with a unified message: We cannot afford to sit back as our democracy hangs in the balance.
The Message
The lyrics of “Forward (We’re Not Going Back!)” capture a sentiment of urgency and resilience. As the songwriters state, it’s about encouraging everyone—especially the youth—to take their voices and votes to the polls. 🎉🗳️ As they pointed out, “Kamala’s opponent has openly stated that if he wins, this will be America’s last Presidential election.” That’s a statement that has every American sitting up straight and paying attention!
With a stunning new visual by Shepard Fairey, known for the iconic Obama 'Hope' poster, the imagery is bold and invigorating. It's the perfect accompaniment to a song meant to inspire action! 🖼️💪
Why This Matters
In a time when political dialogue can feel overwhelming, it’s refreshing and essential to have artists use their platforms to advocate for democracy and the rights of the people. As noted in the article, young artists and women are stepping up now more than ever, ready to pave the way for a brighter future. 🌈💖
