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.”

“Duplicity” by Freya Magee debuts a stunningly introspective anthem with split honesty

Freya Magee

With origins spanning from Northern Ireland to Melbourne, singer-songwriter Freya Magee, now based in London, is sure to emerge as a prominent music artist in the indie folk scene with her debut single, “Duplicity.” She asserts herself in the limelight with a charming voice that’s both featherlight and resolutely bold. Her debut single serves as a nuanced exploration of spoken storm, characterized by an emotionally charged and elegantly restrained vocal delivery that is achingly relatable.

Duplicity” elicits the feeling of a whispered confession cloaked in darkness, evoking an intimate, cinematic quality that is both urgent and contemplative. Magee’s vocal performance strikes an effective equilibrium between fragility and assertiveness, navigating a melancholic soundscape that producer Phil Taylor meticulously crafted at Laurel Sound Studios. The composition’s understated brilliance lies in its capacity to invite listeners to engage closely, as though they are privy to a private inner dialogue.

Lyrically, Magee explores the complexities of identity conflict with poetic precision, articulating the ache of aspiring to be everything, everywhere, encompassing various facets of existence simultaneously. One moment, she sounds sure of herself, projecting confidence; the next, she reveals a gentle struggle with indecision and uncertainty. The notable line, “dark on the left…, blonde on the right,” is more than clever imagery; it’s a visual metaphor for the emotional dichotomy she sings about. This duality is visually represented in the single’s cover art, aligning aesthetic and thematic elements into a cohesive portrait of self-contradiction.

The most noteworthy aspect of “Duplicity” is its authenticity. There is no posturing here, just a young artist sitting with her contradictions, thereby encouraging audiences to do the same. For enthusiasts who appreciate the introspective intimacy found within the works of artists such as Phoebe Bridgers, Gracie Abrams, Laura Marling, or the early compositions of Joni Mitchell, Magee’s sound seamlessly fits right into the lineage of musicians who find strength in vulnerability.
