Hey Pandora listeners,
Did you know that today marks National Video Game Day? It seems like over the past few months, we’ve been observing this holiday every day, am I right? Video games have served as a comforting form of escape, constant entertainment, and way to connect with others in the community.
Whether the go-to is Fortnite, Call of Duty, Grand Theft Auto, or even OG classics like Super Mario or Donkey Kong, it is undeniable that there is a strong connection between music and gaming, and finding the right musical vibe is the perfect way to fuel that next session.
This was the inspiration behind our latest program designed to connect artists and listeners. Beginning today, we’re launching Game Time, a new series of exclusive playlists featuring artists who also happen to be avid gamers. Each playlist features a hand-picked lineup of songs that soundtrack each artist’s gaming experience, from chill tracks to pump up anthems, with special messages from the artist about their picks.
