TRANSCENDENTAL MUSIC (Formally DLFM) created by TMusic–the first for purpose record label designed to help raise funds for the David Lynch Foundation–will relaunch the MUSIC THAT CHANGES THE WORLD compilation with the release of collection’s second single, “Man To Man (Woman to Woman)” by musician, music producer, author, entrepreneur, filmmaker and philanthropist Dave Stewart, also known as a founding member of the Eurythmics.
Recorded in Nashville this past June, the recording of “Man To Man (Woman to Woman)” features Stewart sharing the microphone with the beautiful and powerful female vocalist, Jihae.
Notably, “Man To Man (Woman to Woman)” was recently chosen as the theme song for the Department of State’s 2012 Hours Against Hate “Walk A Mile” campaign powered by SoFit Mobile, a global movement to promote tolerance and health.

“More and more, I see communities and people turning their backs on old boundaries and barriers and finding new ways to bridge divides,” says Secretary Clinton who has championed using new diplomatic tools–including music–to promote American ideals. “That’s the idea behind 2012 Hours Against Hate, a campaign to promote respect across lines of culture, religion, class, and gender in new ways.”
“I’m honored my song ‘Man To Man (Woman To Woman)’was chosen as The Department of State’s 2012 Hours Against Hate ‘Walk A Mile’ campaign and thrilled to have Jihae sing this song as a duet,” Stewart says. He adds: “The Walk A Mile campaign combines being healthy with respecting and learning from others, valuing differences, bridging cultural gaps, rejecting unfair stereotypes, discovering common ground, and creating new bonds. All these virtues are what’s needed to create more tolerance in the world and using music with technology to empower this whole initiative is an exciting moment in time.”
“‘Man To Man’ is exactly the type of uplifting anthem one would expect songwriting, production and pop icon Dave Stewart to come up with for Hillary Clinton’s ‘Walk A Mile’ campaign,” says Amanda Alexandrakis, Music Promotion, Inc. “With lyrical imagery that celebrates unity, strength and hope, play it as a reminder for some heart-felt inspiration. I’m sure this track will be embraced by radio stations worldwide.”
This compilation will be served as rewards to people who join the Walk a Mile movement by downloading and using the SoFit app from Apple or Android app stores. SoFit is a fitness app that lets you earn rewards that matter, and is the Official Solution Provider of Walk A Mile.
