Cry of the Planet
Will you listen to the Cry of the Planet?
Thirty-six artists from eleven countries came together to create an album that would make a statement—we want justice. Justice for George Floyd. Justice for Breonna Taylor. Justice for every victim of a racist, despotic system. Themes of oppression and resistance can be found in all forms of entertainment, even video games, and these 21 tracks provide emotional catharsis both for the listener and the artists that created them. Cry of the Planet is more than an album; it's a call to action. Will you listen?
