New York, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 20th Apr, 2018 ) :The singer Janelle Monae on Friday announced the release of a dystopian film to accompany her first album in nearly five years, which was initially being produced by Prince.
Monae, who has increasingly focused on acting of late with roles in the Oscar-winning film "Moonlight" and the well-received NASA history pic "Hidden Figures," will roll out "Dirty Computer" on April 27.
The 44-minute film, "Dirty Computer: an Emotion Picture by Janelle Monae," will come out a day earlier and bring together music videos tied to the album, the singer said. The film will air on the music and youth culture network MTV, African American-oriented entertainment network BET and their international partners.
The "emotion picture" -- which also stars "Selma" actress Tessa Thompson -- features Monae playing a woman named Jane 57821 who lives in a totalitarian society where citizens are described as computers.
The film "explores humanity and what truly happens to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness when mind and machines merge, and when the government chooses fear over freedom," MTV and BET parent Viacom said in an announcement. Monae, 32, won acclaim starting with her musical debut a decade ago for her blending of classic soul and Jazz with psychedelic, science-fiction narratives.
