The world right now can be a deeply overwhelming place – which is why it’s more important than ever to take a few moments to commune with nature and just… be. Helping to make that moment a little more soothing? Isobel Waller-Bridge’s newly released instrumental score,, and accompanying playlist for Alexander McQueen – part of the brand’s #McQueenMusic initiative.
“I wanted to capture the feeling of hope and prayer,” says Waller-Bridge of her original composition. “Peace and nature have been important to my work over the last few months, and it felt natural to reflect on these themes. The middle section of the piece, where the energy picks up, is where I feel the style of McQueen most. There’s a strength and beauty in their work, which I hope can also be felt in the music.
Just as brilliant? The calming accompanying playlist. “ I look around and I feel the need for community now more than ever,” Waller-Bridge continues. “Community is a word so deeply associated with McQueen, and I wanted to reflect that connectivity with diversity and energy. That doesn’t always mean songs in a major key, but rather two hours of excellent music to listen to while walking, running, staring at the sky, and thinking of each other.
