“Superpower (I),” the sweeping end credit song from THE COLOR PURPLE (MUSIC FROM AND INSPIRED BY), is a tour de force performance by Fantasia, the film’s central star. Written and produced by lauded hitmaker The-Dream (Rihanna, Beyoncé, Mariah Carey), the song unites all the emotion of the film into a powerful crescendo and has been shortlisted for Oscar® consideration.
In Fantasia’s words: “Not only is this a song that is so meaningful to the story of The Color Purple, it’s also a song that speaks to my personal life experience. Celie is a character I hold close to my heart as I understand her profoundly. What an honor to have The-Dream write her song – our song – and I hope it moves you in the way it immensely moved me.” Fantasia and The-Dream are joined on THE COLOR PURPLE (MUSIC FROM AND INSPIRED BY) soundtrack by an incomparable array of music luminaries, including Alicia Keys, USHER & H.E.R, Megan Thee Stallion, Jennifer Hudson, Mary J. Blige, Missy Elliott, Halle Bailey, Keyshia Cole, Coco Jones, Taraji P. Henson, Timbaland, Jorja Smith, Celeste, Mary Mary, Darkchild, October London and more. It’s the biggest R&B soundtrack in decades, boasting 17 songs from the film, 16 newly penned songs and four remixes.
