Global Citizen are looking to create a compilation album to end all compilation albums. Metamorphoses features Kanye West, Ellie Goulding, Mumford & Sons, The National, and more. The project will be comprised of 12 songs, which are lyrics and/or stories submitted by fans and turned into original records by the artists participating on the album.
Metamorphoses has the potential to break down our preconceptions of the voices of creativity, what different people around the world are thinking and who has the right to be heard. In my own life, I’ve experienced people trying to define me and put me in boxes and categories. Through collaboration we can show people how those lines can be blurred and are ultimately redundant. The artists involved in this project are some of the most genuine artists the world has to offer. Artists like Kanye West, and The National are doing something globally important that is touching people down to their DNA. And these masterfully creative people are going to be interpreting incredible submissions from people across the globe. It has been a joy reading all of the submissions we received over the past six months. I’m truly excited to see what we will create together.
