David Byrne shares “Change is Gonna Come” playlist featuring Stevie Wonder, Sault, Burna Boy, more

David Byrne has posted yet another of his monthly themed playlists to his website, this month's being titled "A Change is Gonna Come." On the playlist, he wrote:

Here’s to Hoping…that we see the light at the end of the tunnel on this pandemic. That our awareness of our biases, racial and otherwise, increases, and we become more open and inclusive as a result. That musicians, actors, stagehands, waiters, cooks, bartenders, dancers…well, everybody, can all be doing the work they love.

Got some old songs and some very new ones in here – some RnB and some Country. Some Nigerian Afrobeat and some Pop. Hope this is a little bit of a good feel for the end of a very strange year.

As he touched on, the playlist compiles a few eclectic inclusions, airing on the side of hopeful. Some songs he chose include tracks from The Chicks, Sharon Van Etten, Burna Boy, Fontaines D.C., SaultThe Weather Station, and quite a few from Stevie Wonder. He even included one of his own works, a 2008 collaboration with Brian Eno, "The River."
