I guess I memory-holed MC Hammer's 9/11 album

("A patriotic album, originally planned to be titled The Autobiography of M.C. Hammer, portions of the proceeds were donated to 9/11 charities.[6][7] Hammer shot the video for the anthem "No Stoppin' Us (USA)" in Washington, D.C., on October 3, 2001, with several members of the United States Congress, who sang in the song and danced in the music video")

YOSHIKI never fails to move me. His performance of the Japanese national anthem at Suzuka for the F1 GP was stunning and full of deep emotion. What an unforgettable moment! 🇯🇵✨@YoshikiOfficial #YOSHIKI 🏎️ #国歌 #鈴鹿GP#F1 #Formula1 #JapaneseGP #f1jp https://t.co/RhDyadT2O4 pic.twitter.com/g89igtfUU0

This article about the creation of Sayonara Wild Hearts taught me a new music genre

Design Room:

Jonathan Eng (acoustic composer, Sayonara Wild Hearts): We had this idea of making [a song inspired by] the artists that Simon mentioned, like Chvrches and Robyn and all those artists, and I also listened a lot to this song “For You, Love,” by Frida Sundemo. I think that was maybe the main inspiration. It’s a really sad electropop song. So I think we wanted to capture a really sad, sad feeling, but combined with a really upbeat and driving feeling.

Simon Flesser (art, sound, and design lead, Sayonara Wild Hearts): I think we used the term “gråtdisco.” It’s like “crying disco.”

(But Parallel Universes is the best song, and  Wild Hearts Never Die is the second)

Some live Thomas Bangalter

"Your Precious Love" by D'Angelo and Erykah Badu

"Children’s music sensation Gracie’s Corner has evolved ... into a Gen Alpha juggernaut, with nearly 6 million subscribers and two NAACP Image Awards"

From the consistently excellent After School newsletter:

The songs remix nursery classics with traditional Black music genres, like reggae and Afrobeat, and manage to be refreshingly free of “cringe,” unlike most kids’ music. The channel’s star, 13-year-old Graceyn Hollingsworth, now headlines sold-out live shows where preschoolers lose their minds; when rapper Paul Wall made a cameo at a recent Houston show to perform “Wheels on the Bus,” a “pint-size pandemonium” ensued.

NIN posted the Tron Ares soundtrack

Perhaps the songs really come alive when combined with the visuals. This was my favorite:
