Released in 2022 by Rockabye Baby! and arranged/performed by Andrew Bissell, this album takes the nine songs of Marvin Gaye’s What’s Going On — Motown’s socially-conscious 1971 song cycle about war, poverty, and the environment — and rescales them into soft, chime- and mallet-instrument-driven lullaby arrangements with no vocals or percussion. The sequencing mirrors Gaye’s original tracklist, moving from the title track through “Mercy Mercy Me (The Ecology)” to the closing “Inner City Blues (Make Me Wanna Holler),” preserving the melodic shape of the source material in a form meant for naptime, car rides, and quiet play. It’s part of a Rockabye Baby! catalog that has similarly reworked artists from Prince to Nirvana, giving parents a way to introduce beloved albums to the youngest listeners. This pressing is on 180-gram vinyl with a download card for the digital audio.
