New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Learn the basics of rights and citizenship with upbeat songs by popular artists like Janelle Monáe, H.E.R., Adam Lambert,
Brandi Carlile and more!
This series of ten animated music videos brings musicians and directors together to remix civics for a new generation.
The series is "set to original songs performed by artists such as H.E.R., Janelle Monáe, Brandi Carlile, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Adam Lambert, Cordae, Bebe Rexha, KYLE, Andra Day, and poet
Amanda Gorman, with a groundbreaking mix of animated styles — each episode of We the People is an exuberant call to action for everyone to rethink civics as a living, breathing thing and to reframe their understanding of what government and citizenship mean in a modern world."
In one clip,
H.E.R. sings about the rights and responsibilities of a U.S. citizen, as reported by Today. In another snippet,
Cordae sings about taxes, saying "Now let me start to tell y'all all about taxes. How much do you pay? Well that depends on your bracket."
The series was created by Doc McStuffins writer Chris Nee, who will executive produce alongside the Obamas through their Higher Ground Productions company.
Earlier this year, Higher Ground Productions announced a slate of new Netflix projects coming soon, theGRIO reported.
The Obamas' highly-publicized Netflix deal has already been quite a success for the couple. From Michelle's revealing Becoming documentary to their Academy Award-winning American Factory, they have certainly made an impact in the streamer's catalog.
