TURNTABLES


This year, musician, Janelle Monae will be flexing her acting muscles with a starring role in the psychological horror thriller, "Antebellum" (which is due out Friday on VOD) and makes an appearance as feminist/activist, Dorothy Pitman Hughes in the bio-pic of Gloria Steinem in "The Glorias" with plans of a theatrical release on September 30th. 

But thankfully, Monae has not abandoned her music although her latest song is for an upcoming movie. "Turntables" is for the soundtrack of the Amazon Prime documentary, "All In: The Fight for Democracy" which examines the insidious development of voter suppression happening in this country right now. This song, which she raps over a pulsating hip-hop beat, stresses the importance of "turning the tables" by getting out and voting in this election, done in a way that only Ms Monae can deliver.
