Embraced

For a century now, contemporary music has reflected the pressing issues of its time. In recent years, the conversation on diversity and inclusion has descended on global hot spots such as Australia, the United States, and the United Kingdom. As society grapples with issues of racial, gender, and cultural equality, artists have tried to highlight these struggles and promote a more inclusive world. Music transcends barriers and is colour-blind and democratic. Through lyrics that challenge, genre-blending collaborations, or simply being seen and heard, music is constantly putting the issues on stage and increasing the volume. Come and listen – and feel included, and embraced
