Janelle Monáe - "Heroes" [Official Video]

Lenny Kravitz, Grace Jones, Lauryn Hill, Lion Babe, Thundercat, SZA & More Rock The Afropunk Festival 2015 in Brooklyn, NY.

Janelle Monáe cements her superhuman status as the visuals for her cover of David Bowie's classic "Heroes" lets loose a hard-hitting anti-bullying sentiment. The anthemic rehash -- which is featured on Pepsi's upcoming Beats Of The Beautiful Game LP-- gets a proper Young Astronauts- directed visual that finds a group of tormented kids banding together to give their bullies a fitting dose of Avengers-type action. Beats Of The Beautiful Game will be a full-on Bey-styled release, giving each of the contributions a compelling visual treatment, featuring the likes of Kelly Rowland, Rita Ora, Spike Lee, Santigold, Timbaland and so many more. Watch the lionhearted visuals for the funky android's take on David Bowie's "Heroes" below and preorder the Beats Of The Beautiful Game LP via iTunes today.
