Chance The Rapper Joins Peter CottonTale To Soundtrack Google’s ‘Year In Search 2020’ With ‘Together’
The inspiring message of hope lightens a ‘Year In Search’ recap in sore need of one. …
After a rough year, Google’s usual “Year In Search” retrospective could have been extremely depressing. The imagery and the searches themselves are enough to induce anxious flashbacks in anyone who was even passably aware of the seemingly hundreds of disasters that took place on a global scale in 2020. Fortunately, this year’s video arrives accompanied by a message of hope, courtesy of Chicago producer Peter CottonTale, who soundtracks the video with his new song “Together” featuring Chance the Rapper, the Chicago Children’s Choir, Cynthia Erivo, and Re-Collective Orchestra’s Matt Jones.
It’s the second collaboration between Chance and Peter this year after the duo linked up in April for the gospel-themed “Pray For Real.” Their chemistry, which was previously displayed on tracks like “Forever Always,” remains intact. CottonTale also appeared this year on Vic Mensa’s V Tape, which saw Chance and Vic reunite on a record for the first time since Vic’s 2013 Innanetape.
Meanwhile, Chance recently re-released his Christmas album, Merry Christmas Lil’ Mama, with Jeremih and also started collaborating with R&B living legend Dionne Warwick after she shouted him on Twitter. The moment gave Chance an opportunity to close out his 2020 on a high note after being sued by his former manager Pat Corcoran. Chance also has one last year-ending moment planned: A virtual concert which will celebrate the reissue of Merry Christmas Lil’ Mama.
Listen to “Together” above.

Tom Woodward exposes the dark side of modern idol worship in latest release “PHONEY MESSIAH”
Tom Woodward, Australian genre-bender, has a great new single, “PHONEY MESSIAH.” The song, wraps listeners in a tense, swirling mood that blends his unique folk noir style with a gothic country sound that has a grunge feel. Woodward sets up a steady, unchanging beat, mixed with distorted guitars that shine and swirl, making you feel both uneasy and curious. His voice is hypnotic, it sounds both urgent and incantatory, and it takes listeners to a place where the search for simple answers makes us easy prey for frauds, digital demagogues, and people who claim to be experts.
“PHONEY MESSIAH” is not only in how it sounds, but also in how it is put together. Woodward examines modern disappointment through a dark lens, showing how real-life problems are turned into entertainment. The video that accompanies this critique makes it even stronger by presenting a powerful collage of disturbing images that are too familiar, serving as a warning about the digital age’s seductive allure of clickbait and charming lies.
“PHONEY MESSIAH” is a statement. Woodward’s music not only invites people to listen, but it also forces them to face the uncomfortable truths of the world we live in every day. Tom Woodward’s latest album is a fascinating and unforgettable look at the tension between music and morality. It will appeal to fans of music that looks at the mind while also presenting intricately composed sound.
