Global artists release nature-infused tracks for Earth Day 2025 to support conservation

Earth Day 2025 arrives with a compelling musical tribute as over 30 artists unite to release new tracks featuring recordings from nature. Birds, oceans, forests, and even moths take center stage in this unique collaboration, part of the Sounds Right initiative. The project, which previously made history by crediting NATURE as an official artist, continues to direct streaming royalties toward conservation efforts worldwide.

This year’s contributors represent a global spread of talent across genres. From techno producer Amelie Lens to indie artist SYML, and from classical composer Evgeny Grinko to Indian pop star Armaan Malik, each artist created a piece using environmental sounds, whether gathered by field experts like Martyn Stewart or recorded personally. Notably, I. Jordan drew attention to endangered UK birds with their track “Lesser Spotted,” while Rozzi addressed California’s wildfire crisis in “Orange Skies – Chapter 2.” On “All We Are,” Alice Boyd layered springtime recordings from 1976 and 2024, revealing subtle changes in Birmingham’s soundscape over time.

With every stream of the “Feat. NATURE” playlist on Spotify, listeners contribute to real conservation work. In 2024 alone, Sounds Right allocated $225,000 to Indigenous-led efforts in the Tropical Andes. By 2025, that sum will more than double, expanding support to areas like the Amazon and Congo Basins.

Moreover, backed by partners including Spotify, EarthPercent, and the Museum for the United Nations – UN Live, the movement blends creativity and advocacy. As a result, as more artists lend their voices to nature, the call to protect our planet grows louder—one track at a time.
