How Musicians are Soundtracking this Weird Year

Self-Evident is inspired by American Portrait’s central question: “What does it really mean to be an American today?” As the US grapples with COVID-19, widespread social unrest following the killing of George Floyd and a polarizing election, the series explores American challenges and triumphs as we persevere in an especially tough year.

How Musicians are Soundtracking this Weird Year

Season 1 Episode 3 | 9m 44s | CC

Music is a reflection of our American collective consciousness, so we’re taking a listen to the soundtrack of this moment. We’ll show how producer/artist Ricky Reed (Lizzo, Leon Bridges) and musician/activist Madame Gandhi are creating community through collaboration and finding solidarity in isolation. Hear the music and see a performance that could have only been made in this unique moment.
