Today's Song of the Day, as chosen by DJ Gabriel Teodros, host of Early on KEXP, is "Remember" by Coco Peila, from the 2022 Whose World? (The New Normal) EP on Miss Behave Records/La Vida Diosa Publishing.
With her latest EP, Whose World? (The New Normal), Bay Area-based MC, singer-songwriter, and producer Coco Peila continues to use music as a platform to speak on causes she feels passionately about. (Her last KEXP Song of the Day spoke out against outdated beauty norms.) This new release is described as a "Hip Hop and Climate Justice audio-visual initiative," presented by BlackGold Movement and developed as a part of Creative Wildfire, "a collaborative call to action from frontline communities, represented by Climate Justice Alliance, New Economy Coalition, and Movement Generation."
As she writes on her Instagram, "The goal of the Whose World Initiative is to: spark conversation about Climate Justice and the Climate Emergency articulated from the perspective of those on the frontline and highlight the demands that reflect our lived experiences and the impacts on us, while sharing information and solutions, building relationships, and supporting our communities to engage in ending the Climate Emergency."
