September 21st, 2008 | Posted in Politics | Print This Article
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.
