Barack Obama’s presidential campaign is getting an official soundtrack, which features Kanye West, John Legend, John Mayer, Sheryl Crow and other big name stars.
It’s called “Yes We Can: Voices of a Grassroots Movement.” The album takes its title from an Obama campaign slogan and will be available for sale exclusively through Obama’s web site.
The musical collection costs $24.99 for a digital download and $30 for a hard copy. Proceeds from the CD will help raise money for Obama’s campaign until “Election Day” November 4th, 2008.
Most of the songs on the disc have been previously released, such as Stevie Wonder’s “Signed, Sealed, Delivered I’m Yours.” But a few of the songs are new, including John Legend’s “Pride in the Name of Love” and “Promised Land” by Malik Yusef featuring Kanye West and Adam Levine of Maroon 5.
Earlier this year, Obama inspired an all-star music video featuring John Legend, Scarlet Johansson, Kate Walsh, Common, and other celebs, led by the Black Eyed Peas’ will.i.am and titled “Yes We Can,” which became a viral sensation, garnering millions of views on the Internet.

Heidi Montag: I Want To Be Like A Virgin
January 16th, 2008 | Posted in Celebrity Gossip, Music News
The Hills star Heidi Montag has plans to dominate the music charts across the globe, insisting her discography will rival that of Madonna.
The 21-year-old aspiring singer admits to using the Like a Virgin hitmaker as inspiration for her debut album.
She says, “But it’s not like with most pop artists, where they have a song sent to them that has nothing to do with their emotions or lives. It’s all about me and my life. I’m taking my time to make sure it’s a classic.
“I don’t want to be the next pop person who’s in or out. I want to be like Michael Jackson, Madonna and Stevie Wonder - all the greats.”
In all fairness, delusion is a form of insanity, so technically Heidi Montag has a better chance of being the next Britney Spears!
