British King Charles 3rd is releasing a personal playlist of songs that animate him and bring back important memories, including Bob Marley, Kylie Minogue and Grace Jones.
He was photographed at Buckingham Palace in London for the musical project, called “King’s Music Room”, with a “in the air” sign on the Royal DJ table.
A trailer shows the band to change the guard outside the palace playing Bob Marley’s “Could You Be Loved” in a project to celebrate the music of Commonwealth countries (the community that brings together the United Kingdom and former British colonies).
“So that’s what I particularly wanted to share -Mumuatic that brought me joy,” said the king.
“Throughout my life, music meant a lot to me,” says the king in the project’s release video, which is a partnership with Apple Music.
“I know this is also the case of many others. It has this extraordinary ability to bring happy memories of the deepest recklessness of our memory, comforting us in times of sadness and leading us to distant places,” he said.
“But perhaps, above all, he can elevate our spirit to such a point, and even more when he gathers us in a celebration. In other words, it brings us joy.”
The full choice of tracks, with more royal comments, will be published on Monday (10), on Commonwealth Day.
In addition to the reggae of Marley and the Minogue Dance Music, it is expected that there will be contributions from Nigerian-American singer and songwriter Davido and British singer-songwriter Raye.
Marley’s message
The king saw Raye at a concert at a Christmas market at the former Battersea Power Station, where Apple has its headquarters in London.
The project aims to be a different approach from Commonwealth Day, in which the royal family meets for a service in Westminster Abbey.
It will reflect the king’s musical interests throughout his life, ranging from singers from the 1930s to Afrobeat stars.
It is also expected to share anecdotes about some of the artists and reveal why the songs help to form the soundtrack of your life.
“This seems to be an interesting and innovative way to celebrate this year’s Commonwealth Day,” said the king.
He has a longtime interest in Bob Marley and visited the singer’s old house in Jamaica, which was transformed into a museum.
And outside the palace windows, the band played Marley’s message: “Don’t Let Them Change Ya, Oh! Or Even Rearrange Ya! Oh, no!” (Don’t let them change you, oh! Don’t even reorganize you! Oh, no!).
