If you want to get to Motown in 2019, you gotta go through Ethiopia. As president of Motown Records and EVP of Capitol Music Group, Ethiopia Habtemariam is the person leading the charge in the latest era of the label’s history-making. Who better than her, then, to create a playlist celebrating Motown’s long and continued impact on popular music? “Condensing the breadth of Motown’s history and cultural reach to a few songs was a struggle,” Ethiopia says. “But I believe this playlist gives a taste of the label’s iconic history, progression, and potential for the future.”
