Sounds of jungles, oceans and anything created by mother nature herself have dropped on Spotify as an official artist. This means your bed-time white noise is about to level up– and for a good cause.
Nature is genuinely on Spotify
Say good-bye to the same old buzzing white noise you devour while falling asleep and get ready to snooze off with soothing sounds recorded straight from natural areas around the world.
Take your pick from “Costa Rican Jungle Rain” with the faint sound of barking wild dogs in the background, “Northern UK Forest Birds” tucking you in for the night, or “Florida Electric Skies” (my personal favorite). It doesn’t end there though; NATURE goes around the world collecting the most gorgeous sounds of animals, locations and weather just for you.
Who is NATURE?
NATURE comes from Sounds Right, an initiative from the Museum of the United Nations, in an effort to support music, ecology and conservation. Any proceeds or donations from their uploaded tracks go straight back into the pockets of conserving our planet – to EarthPercent, a charity compiled of musicians (you may recognize a founding name, Brian Eno) starting up events to protect our earth against climate change.
It gets better though. If you’re an artist, and you’re looking for some neat ambience on your next track– look no further. Using NATURE’s sounds means between 50-70% of the royalties go straight to charity. So, why not go one step further than just switching to recyclable cups at your local club?
Our top picks
Huge names like Ellie Goulding, Tom Walker, David Bowie (well, a remix of Get Real) and AURORA have already jumped onto collaborating with NATURE. For any of our BTS stans out there- you’ll be able to catch V on ‘wherever u r’ with UMI.
But you’re here for our top picks, and without further ado, we present Algo Está Cambiando by Bomba Estéreo. This smooth Colombian electronic track is about to be the theme song of your sustainable summer beach party. You should also get yourself on Blinky Bill’s ‘OH WAH’ for his stunning integration of zen beats, bird noises, and ocean-side acoustics.
Home-grown nature retreat
