Fantasia’s ‘Superpower (I)’ New Visual | Powered By AI
From “The Color Purple (Music From and Inspired By) Soundtrack."
Fantasia‘s “Superpower (I)” visual has been released, the visual for the sweeping end credit song from “The Color Purple (Music From and Inspired By),” the soundtrack album for the newly reimagined motion picture release “The Color Purple.”
“Superpower (I)” features a tour de force performance by Fantasia, the film’s central star. Written and produced by lauded hitmaker The-Dream, the song unites all the emotion of the film into a powerful crescendo and has been shortlisted for Oscar consideration.
“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,” states Fantasia. “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.”
Directed by Taylor Fauntleroy, the video is both a gorgeous performance piece and a technological achievement. Lead by Visual Effects Supervisor Jo Plaete of Metaphysic, the industry leading generative AI company, Fantasia is captured singing to and with her 19-year-old self, robed in the red dress she wore for her now-iconic 2004 American Idol finale performance of “Summertime,” a moment that cemented her as the voice of a generation. Presented here is a moving juxtaposition of Fantasia at the birth of stardom and Fantasia two decades later, owning her wisdom and superpower. It’s a visual mimicry of Celie’s journey in “The Color Purple,” one that is in equal parts tragedy and triumph.
The score for the film, composed by Kris Bowers, is available now.
