Vocal Curation Team

Every week, we ask the Vocal community to be just that: vocal.

We're excited to kick off summer with a new To the Beat playlist featuring all the songs and artists you loved this month. Whether you are celebrating pride, protesting for BLM, or showing your support from home, this month's collection has something for you. This roundup highlights music from every decade. Creators shared everything from Lady Gaga's dance-pop hits to Jimi Hendrix's psychedelic rock. Craving Fleetwood Mac's moody tunes? Check. How about Sam Cooke's soulful ballads? Double check.

On May 25, 2020, George Floyd cried out that he couldn't breathe, and the people heard his cries.

It’s been a heavy week. As a platform with such diverse creators and a diverse community, it’s always our goal to amplify the voices that need to be heard the most.

Quarantine bumming you out? Fear not! To the Beat is back with another collection of songs to boost your spirits and help you stay strong in these difficult times.

Given all that's happening around us, we wanted to put together something that soothes the overwhelming emotions that we're all experiencing. This month we're bringing To the Beat back in an effort to highlight you, the creators, who lift us up when we're feeling down. Your stories have made this playlist possible, with songs that remind us to dance, that help us blow off some steam, that make us hopeful, that make us think of better days, that we dedicate to those we love, and so much more.
