Black Eyed Peas hitmaker will.i.am released a song in support of Vice President Kamala Harrisdirectly alluding to the song he produced in support of former President Barack Obamas first campaign 16 years ago.
In a post on social media, will.i.am, whose real name is William Adams, called his new song a heartfelt anthem celebrating Kamala Harris and the power of every people. I wanted to score the movement, and create a call to action, and promise of what we can achieve together, the Boom Boom Pow songwriter wrote on Instagram.
The songs melody and concept is almost identical to Adams 2008 promotional single Yes We Can, written in support of then-Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama. Both feature the same simple acoustic guitar riff and footage of Adams peering into the camera.
The 2008 version features black-and-white footage of celebrities including John Legend, Common, and Nicole Scherzinger singing along to the recording of the famous Yes we can speech Obama made after conceding the 2008 New Hampshire primary.
