The opening lyrics reflect his fascination with flight: With a million stars in the galaxy/When I’m floating with them it’s hard for me to see/I’m holding on to this dear earth as it spins around with me.”Īll Rise is out on August 28 and can be pre-ordered here. “Concorde” is the fifth single to be taken from the forthcoming record and was written by Porter whilst he was on board an aeroplane. His sixth studio album, All Rise, marks a return to his beloved original songwriting – heart-on-sleeve lyrics imbued with everyday philosophy and real-life detail, set to a stirring mix of jazz, soul, blues, gospel, and pop. He has achieved international recognition for his Grammy-winning albums Liquid Spirit and Take Me To The Alley and performed to sold-out venues around the world. Those who tune into the broadcast will be able to witness the silky voice and exuberant personality which has made Gregory Porter one of today’s most successful male modern jazz vocalists. Full mission coverage will air live on NASA Television and the agency’s website, as well as numerous other platforms. It will also record the first ever audio from the planet and test new technology to benefit future robotic and human exploration to Mars. The mission will collect and store a set of rock and soil samples that could be returned to Earth in the future. This reel depicts key events during entry, descent, and landing that will occur when NASA’s Perseverance rover lands on. The rover is designed to better understand the geology of Mars and seek signs of ancient life. NASA’s Perseverance Rover is slated to launch to the Red Planet on July 30 from Cape Canaveral, Florida. Grammy Award-winning Gregory Porter was asked to sing “America The Beautiful” to remind us that from the fruited plains to the shining seas we are in this grand story together.” The fact that this flight must be completed in a moment of America’s story that calls for the very best in us to persevere, we felt it fitting to signal this send-off with a focus on what makes America beautiful. Paul Wizikowski, Executive Producer of NASA’s launch broadcast, commented, “The launch of the Mars Perseverance rover from America’s shore to the Jezero crater on Mars is a milestone in humanity’s history.
