Kat Graham Launches Global Music Project With New Single “World Song”
In partnership with Radar Live/Virgin Music Group
Artist, actress, and activist Kat Graham presents “World Song,” the first single from her upcoming album “K’Pelle: One Song, One World.”
An Album Framed Around Global Connection
The album is set for release on June 20, intentionally timed to coincide with World Refugee Day. Graham, a Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), created the project to bring the voices and stories of displaced communities to the forefront through music.
How “World Song” Sets the Tone
Within the album, “World Song” functions as an opening statement. The track establishes the album’s approach, which is to use music as a shared space where different cultures can connect. Rather than focusing on a single genre or region, the project builds its musical narrative through a global framework, with each track representing a different part of the world.

A Personal Background Shaping the Project
The international scope of the project is also connected to Graham’s personal background. Born in Geneva, the artist grew up surrounded by diverse cultural influences. Her father was a West African jazz musician who later became a journalist, while her mother built a career as a paralegal.
The album will be distributed by Virgin Music Group through the Radar Live imprint, led by music executive Melvin “Mel-Man” Breeden. Based in Atlanta, Breeden has worked on distribution models designed to expand opportunities for artists beyond traditional industry structures.
Music, Technology, and Public Advocacy
Graham’s exploration of the relationship between music and technology has also been a defining aspect of her recent work. In 2022, she released “Toro Gato,” an album influenced by trip-hop and electronic music that was distributed exclusively as an NFT. The project drew attention from industry observers, who noted the stylistic range of the release.
A Global Statement Through Sound
Alongside her music career, Graham remains actively involved in social and cultural initiatives. These include an Emmy-nominated PSA tied to a broader social advocacy campaign, as well as her inclusion in Vanity Fair’s Global Goals list in 2023, which recognizes individuals committed to social and humanitarian causes.
With “World Song,” Kat Graham introduces the starting point of “K’Pelle: One Song, One World,” an ambitious and inclusive project that places music and cultural diversity at the center of an album conceived from a global perspective.
