H.E.R. has premiered ‘Fight For You’ – the track which earned the singer a Golden Globe nomination for Best Original Song.
The haunting hymn is lifted from the soundtrack for Warner Bros’ ‘Judas and the Black Messiah,’ which chronicles the life of activist Fred Hampton.
Produced by both D’Mile and H.E.R, the track was penned by the 23-year-old songbird alongside Tiara Thomas.
While taking vocal flight, she sings:
“All the Smoke in the air
Feel the hate when they stare
All the pain that we bare
Oh you Better beware
Their guns don’t play fair
All we got is a prayer
It was all in their plans
Wash the blood from your hands”
Take a listen below…
Powerful!
The ‘Judas and the Black Messiah’ Original Motion Picture Soundtrack arrives February 12 via RCA Records.
Guests include Nas, SiR, A$AP Rocky, Dom Kennedy, White Dave, and more.
The film, which stars Daniel Kaluuya and LaKeith Stanfield, premieres in select US theaters and on HBO Max on February 12 too.
Before then, H.E.R. will be taking to the stage at this Sunday’s Super Bowl to perform ‘America The Beautiful.’
You can hear the potential in the song, but unfortunately it doesn’t go anywhere.
