We've spent hours on end watching Janelle Monáe music videos in awe of her fierce dancing, powerful vocals, quick-fire rap, and sumptuous menswear-inspired costumes (Katharine Hepburn would be proud). They're truly in a league of their own — and the same can be said for her newest video, a short film set to her cover of David Bowie's "Heroes."
You might be surprised to find that instead of showcasing Monáe belting it out and cutting a rug, the short film revolves around a group of young children. These youngsters are dealing with school bullies, but find solace by flipping through JANELLE!, a superhero comic book that teaches outcasts to unite and avenge (peacefully, of course!). Where can we grab our issue?
The awe-inducing film, directed by Young Astronauts, is the latest offering from Pepsi's Beats of the Beauiful Game album. The 11-track compilation LP boasts numbers from Rita Ora, Santigold, Kelly Rowland, Timbaland, and more, and will be released on June 10. See the full track list and film credits, below:

Lauren is the former beauty editor at Marie Claire. She love to while away the hours at coffee shops, hunt for vintage clothes, and bask in the rough-and-tumble beauty of NYC. She firmly believes that solitude can be a luxury if you’ve got the right soundtrack—that being the Rolling Stones, of course.
