Barack Obama Music

Barack Obama is entering the political world of music!

The US Democratic presidential nominee is taking his political campaign a step further by opting to release an official campaign soundtrack.

Being Barack Obama, contributors are not hard to find with superstars Stevie Wonder, Will.I.Am, John Legend, Kanye West and Maroon 5's Adam Levine all signed up.

Yes We Can: Voices of a Grassroots Movement was released in conjunction with Hidden Beach Recordings, who negotiated rights with the artists. In an interesting move, the CD will initially be sold as a campaign fundraiser in the run-up to the November 4 election. "We had conversations quite some time ago about how to harness what was happening really organically and naturally with so many artists,"

Hidden Beach's Steve McKeever told Associated Press. "The whole concept [was] how do we translate that to inspire and invigorate and also give people a keepsake that they can own while at the same time providing some important capital needed for this campaign."

In contrast, John McCain and his Republican campaign is not attracting the same sort of celebrity interest, and McCain's spokesman Tucker Bounds said Barack Obama "fails to release an economic plan, but instead chooses a celebrity rock album."
