Beyonce Joins Peloton For A Multi-Year Partnership Benefiting HBCUs
Driely S. Carter Beyonce’s music will be integrated into workouts and Peloton will build upon its relationships with the participating schools. …
Music is a core part of the Peloton experience, and now the fitness platform has teamed up with one of the medium’s biggest stars, Beyonce, for a new multi-year partnership that will benefit Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).
As part of the partnership, Peloton and Beyonce will give two-year Peloton Digital memberships to students at ten HBCUs: Bennett College, Clark Atlanta University, Grambling State University, Hampton University, Howard University, Morehouse College and Morehouse School of Medicine, Spelman College, Texas Southern University, and Wilberforce University. These memberships provide access to a library of fitness classes through the Peloton app, which can be enjoyed with or without equipment. Additionally, Peloton “will build on its relationships with each of these schools to pursue long-term recruiting partnerships at both the internship and undergraduate levels,” as press materials note.
On top of that, Peloton is also hosting Beyonce-themed classes, the Beyonce Artist Series, over the next few days that feature her music, including yoga, meditation, and running.
Beyonce says of the partnership:
“Peloton and I both believe that the power of music can help uplift, motivate and inspire those on their fitness journeys. I’ve been a Peloton member for several years, and I’m excited to partner with a company that helps people, young and old, be the best versions of themselves, in an innovative and adaptable way. I’m proud to celebrate the students at HBCUs with this donation, to encourage them to find and embrace their own wellness regimens.”
Peloton’s Head of Music Gwen Bethel Riley also said of the partnership, “Beyonce’s commitment to empowerment and artistic expression is an inspiration to the entire Peloton community. It is a privilege to be able to work closely with her and her extraordinary team to broaden access to our platform and collaborate on incredible offerings we think our members will love.”

“Boom” by Chandra explodes with energy and in-depth storytelling
“Boom” is Chandra’s second single of 2026, and it’s the kind of moment when emotion, energy, and cosmic interest collapse into each other, delivering you a pop-rock sensation that is at once intimate and grand.
“Boom” settles into a steady sequence with the driven bass of Chris Wong and lead-guitar fireworks from Mike Paul. The production plays back-and-forth, the verses are cool and collected, and in the choruses, everything bursts into high, emotional sounds. The lead singer, Chandra Nair, sings in a way that feels quite personal yet speaks to everyone. He sings with a sense of wonder that matches the song’s central idea of soulmates wandering through an infinite cosmos to meet. It has a spiritual nature underneath all that, a sense of fate wrapped in heavy metaphor.
“Boom” is a song you think about and sing along to. The band leans into celestial and elemental imagery, contributing to a resonance. Chandra continues to make a name for themselves in contemporary pop-rock by balancing self-reflection with energy. Beyond being a song you want to hear, it demands you feel it, and the echo lingers well.

Reigns and Waives craft a tender moment with “Closer Than Your Shadow” music video
“Closer Than Your Shadow” is a pop song and music video by Reigns and Waives that sounds like a promise quietly made. The song serves as a timely reminder that we are never necessarily alone, no matter how powerless and vulnerable we may feel. It is predicated on unconditional presence and emotional safety.
Originally a soul ballad, the song gradually morphed into an overproduced pop record with enduring depth. The production allows the emotion to come through, creating a warm, immersive atmosphere that complements the song’s grounding, comforting theme. Reigns and Waives strike a terrific balance of openness and strength in their voices. When they sing their lines, it sounds like they are talking straight to you in a time when you need to hear that. It sounds honest, and becomes something so human that you can really empathize with it.
“Closer Than Your Shadow” is about a connection that withstands the heaviness. It captures that quiet moment of falling apart and lovingly pulls it back together with understanding. With this release, Reigns and Waives not only demonstrate how well they complement each other as artists but also how effortlessly they transform complex emotions into something universally relatable.
