Dear Beyond Music family,

An eventful year is drawing to a close. We have recently returned from Lagos, Nigeria, where our winning team recorded their single “Stay Together” with new Grammy nominee Pheelz at the renowned Ogidi Studios – a legendary space where Africa's musical elite has created their greatest hits. The music video was filmed on the scenic island of Tarkwa Bay with a remarkable team. You can look forward to a clip that beautifully captures the important message of the song.

This means all songs with our three guest artists are now finalized:

• “Chica de Favela” was recorded with Angélique Kidjo, under the direction of Grammy-winning producer David Donatien in Paris, creating a piece full of passion and brilliance.
• “Get Wise” was reimagined with Wiyaala, under the artistic leadership of Dodo in Zurich, blending energy and creativity into something truly powerful.

We are eagerly awaiting the final masters of these wonderful pieces.

Your 20 additional winning songs have already been mastered – and they sound fantastic! We will soon start paying out the 85,000 US dollars in prize money to the winners of Vol.4.

We are currently fine-tuning the album's release plan with great care. Our goal is to ensure that each song receives the attention it deserves, allowing your meaningful messages to resonate across the globe. In January, we will share more details about the release timeline.

Looking ahead, we are excited to be preparing another star collaboration for 2025 – a project that promises to bring inspiration and exciting new opportunities.

For now, we wish you a peaceful and relaxing holiday season, a very Merry Christmas, and a joyful start to a healthy, happy, and fulfilling New Year!

From the bottom of our hearts, we thank you for your passion, dedication, and social commitment, as well as your tireless efforts to make the world a more conscious, connected and harmonious place through your music.

With warm regards,
Konstanze & Regula
