MY CHOSEN TRACK "THIS IS AMERICA"

Looking at "This is America."


The track I have chosen is called "This Is America" and it has been made by the afro American artist "Childish Gambino" aka Donald Glover

Released on the 5th of May 2018, "This Is America" is one of the most important and popular modern protest songs. It tackles the modern problems of America such as racism, poverty and violence. Glover seems to be saying that America uses entertainment provided by its black celebrities as a distraction from the death and violence it forces on its black citizens. It also sends a message about the ways that the lives of black Americans are often devalued in our culture.

The song has been used and adapted to huge movements and protests, mainly having to do with the Black lives matter movement, which is a very current and important topic in 2020.

The music video is known all around the globe for it being so spectacular in the way that it tells us a story, with loads of other stories in the background as well. The video has got over 700,000,000 views.

It may be folk, classical, or commercial in the genre. This is America fits in there perfectly since it is all about standing up against Americas Race and gun violence. This concept, combined with cool costumes, quick editing and an interesting storyline will att
