MUMBAI: Did you know that music is still the no.1 stressbuster for youth, trumping sleep or talking to friends/confidantes? As per MTV Youth Study 2021, youth chose music 44% of the times when under stress in 2020, compared to 20% in 2018-19.
As it is truly said, ‘Where words fail, music speaks.’
While we continue our struggle with coming to terms with the new normal, that has limited human interaction as much as leaving us feeling forlorn, the biggest respite has been courtesy music. With an endeavour to celebrate this power and beauty of music that binds us therapeutically and helps us lift up our spirits, this year, some of the leading artists across India have decided to come together for World Music Day Lift Up on COINSWITCH presents MTV BEATS, Vh1 and MTV #LiftUpWithMusic powered by Amazon Alexa.
