– A new initiative will see nature recognised as an official artist on major streaming platforms, including Spotify and Apple Music;
– Artists who use natural sounds in their recordings can choose to list “Nature” as a featured artist – and a share of their profits will be distributed to environmental causes;
– Artists who have contributed songs to the first wave of releases include London Grammar, MØ, Tom Walker and Ellie Goulding, who has updated her song Brightest Blue with the calls of speckled chachalacas and Amazonian oropendolas;
– A playlist with some of ‘nature featured’-songs can be found here.
