Grammy Award-nominated singer Janelle Monáe returns with the powerful companion visual of her extraordinary new song “Turntables.” The song was written for and featured in the upcoming Amazon Studios documentary, “All In: The Fight For Democracy,” which premiered in select theatres nationwide last week and will stream exclusively via Amazon Prime Video starting Friday (Sept. 18).
The powerful anthem “Turntables,” which marks Monáe’s first new original music since her Grammy Award-nominated third solo album, 2018’s landmark “Dirty Computer,” was written by Monáe, Nathaniel Irvin III, and George A. Peters with production by Nate “Rocket” Wonder and Roman GianArthur.
“All In: The Fight for Democracy” examines the often overlooked, yet insidious issue of voter suppression in the United States in anticipation of the 2020 Presidential Election.
Directed by Oscar-nominated and Emmy-winning filmmaker Liz Garbus and Oscar-nominated and Emmy-nominated filmmaker Lisa Cortés, and produced by Garbus, Cortés, Academy Award-winning producer Dan Cogan and Stacey Abrams, the film interweaves personal experiences with current activism and historical insight to expose a problem that has corrupted our democracy from the very beginning.
