Playlist 2: Love In the (Social) Distance
Our second playlist, recognizing how “the world continues to adapt to this warped reality,” features Anderson .Paak, The Internet, J. Cole, and Gym Class Heroes.
Love is love. Even if there’s space separating it.
“LOVE IN THE (Social) DISTANCE” is the second playlist bought to you by The Renaissance Project editors Juwan J. Holmes and Paul K. Barnes. We intend this installation to be for any and everyone in need of love or enjoying an abundance of it after a universally unprecedented year of challenges.
We’ve come a year into this pandemic/panini/personal pan pizza, and while the world continues to adapt to this warped reality, one thing that has remained a constant to lean on is our ability to love one another. We wish to encourage everyone to continue to learn and adapt to that ability, even just for a moment with this playlist.
“LOVE IN THE (Social) DISTANCE” prominently features artists such as Anderson .Paak, BONES, The Internet, J. Cole, Jonny Jukebox, and Solange. You will also find releases by the likes of dvsn, Frank Ocean, Gym Class Heroes, iLoveMakonnen, Kanye West, Pink Sweat$ and Lil Nas X throughout. We have made this playlist with a specific order, but you can enjoy it seamlessly on shuffle as well.
