“This is what I particularly wanted to share with you — songs that have brought me joy.”
In a very unique and intimate gesture, King Charles III has teamed up with Apple Music to share his personal playlist, offering fans a behind-the-scenes look at his musical preferences across the Commonwealth.
The recording takes place within the King’s office at Buckingham Palace, affectionately known as The King’s Music Room. The broadcast initiates with Charles himself sharing his thoughts on music being particularly significant to him. He expresses that this sentiment is likely shared by many others, stating: “Music has an exceptional capacity to stir up joyful memories from the most hidden corners of our mind, to offer solace during difficult times, and to transport us to distant locations.
Furthermore,” he adds, “it might uplift our feelings so profoundly, especially when we share it in jubilation. To put it simply, it gives us happiness.
The musicians showcased in “The King’s Music Room” span from 1930s singers to contemporary Afrobeats stars, disco performers, and reggae legends. This musical journey mirrors the personal preferences of the monarch, as it is molded by his exceptional global experiences. In the recording he made for this year’s Commonwealth Day celebration, King Charles III not only shares stories about meeting some of these artists but also explains why these songs have become the soundtrack to his life, according to a summary.
Spanning various continents and musical styles, this playlist provides a more intimate glimpse into Charles’s personality as the royal family endeavors to strengthen their connection with the public. His selections range from artists like Bob Marley, Kylie Minogue, and Grace Jones, to modern talents such as Davido and Raye, showcasing a diverse mix of old and new talent.
Rachel Newman, Apple Music’s global head of content and editorial, emphasized that human curation has been a fundamental aspect of our distinctive editorial strategy all along. She added that Apple Music Radio serves as a global hub for cultural activities, and it’s an honor for us that King Charles III chose to make his personal playlist available through us, and to music enthusiasts worldwide.
On Monday, March 10th, at 6 a.m. Greenwich Mean Time (which is 10 p.m. Pacific Time), The King’s Music Room will debut on Apple Music 1, and it’s completely free to tune in. If you miss the live broadcast, don’t worry! You can listen whenever you want with an active Apple Music subscription.
