Burna Boy‘s Destiny, one of the hit songs on his African Giant album, has made it to the playlist of the inauguration of the incoming United States President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris.
As Biden and Harris will be sworn in tomorrow (Wednesday, January 20, 2021), Destiny is selected to be among the 46-track playlist, which is now available on Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, and Soundcloud.
The inauguration playlist was however curated by DJ D-Nice and Issa Rae‘s music company Raedio in partnership with the presidential Inauguration Company to fit the Biden/Harris team’s theme, America United.
Amongst other songs featured on the playlist were songs from talented artistes all over the world including Beyoncé, Kendrick Lamar, and Mary J. Blige.
Speaking on the inauguration, the chief executive of the Presidential Inaugural Committee, Tony Allen, said: “During a tumultuous year that has kept so many loved ones apart, music has been a consistent vehicle that has kept us connected. Whether you are a country soul, a jazz enthusiast, a hip-hop head, a classical sort, or just love that old-time rock and roll, music clarifies, inspires, unites, and heals.
“These songs and artists reflect the relentless spirit and rich diversity of America. They are the score to a new chapter and will help bring people together as the Biden-Harris administration begins its important work to unite our country.”
The song, Destiny, which is off the Burna Boy’s Grammy-nominated album is about the power of providence and divination.
