Janelle Monáe not only lent her talents to the upcoming movie Rio 2, but she's also made her way down to Rio de Janiero as the featured artist for Pepsi's global 2014 futbol campaign Now Is What You Make It.
Starring in a new commercial that will debut in over 100 counties, the commercial features apperances from Pepsi's all-star soccer lineup, including Robin van Persie, David Lutz, Sergio Ramos, Sergio Aguero, Jack Wilshire and four-time player of the year Leo Messi.
With that said, Janelle covered the David Bowie joint "Heroes" and speaking with Rolling Stone about the opportunity, Janelle stated that "Bowie is part of my musical DNA in so many ways.... [and] 'Heroes’ is one of my favorite Bowie songs. When you love your favorite song, you want to keep some of the beautiful qualities of the original, but we brought Atlanta in the drums and wanted them to be thick and hit hard. It’s like us reimagining it. I thought, If this song was in my dream, how would it get from our dream to my reality?"
Therefore, peep her commercial and Janelle's amazing cover of "Heroes" and Enjoy!
