In 2025, B-52's Kate Pierson has released a powerful cover of Patti Smith's 1988 anthem "People Have the Power." Pierson's rendition, which features the Uniting Voices Chicago teen choir, seeks to bridge generations and inspire unity during these challenging times.
Pierson, who has long been inspired by Smith's poetic and visionary lyrics, knew taking on this cover would be a daunting task. However, by collaborating with the exceptional young voices of the Uniting Voices Chicago choir, she has created something "electric" that takes the song into the future.
Proceeds from Pierson's "People Have the Power" cover will benefit Uniting Voices Chicago and Sandy Hook Promise, a nonprofit organization taking action to protect children from gun violence. Pierson believes this collaboration demonstrates the transformative power of art and music, empowering the next generation of global leaders to express compassion and understanding.
