Russell Taylor’s latest track, “Wake Up,” is a call to action for Black, Indigenous, People of Color and their Allies. It’s written and produced by Taylor, and co-written by the artist CROWN for IndigoBlue Music, the song and video bring attention to what’s happening, and been happening in the world, while also highlighting different people and moments in the movement.
The short music-film was directed by Dominga Martin on location in Boston in August 2020, and was created in conjunction with The Poor People’s Campaign voter outreach effort, “We Must Do MORE: Mobilizing, Organizing, Registering, Educating People for a Movement that Votes.”
“Creating this project was a beautiful partnership that showcases the power of art to sound the alarm,” states Taylor. “Sickness, social injustice, poverty and violence ebb and flow like the waves of our polluted oceans. It is time for us to Wake Up and take action —first, we must mobilize the BIPOC and Ally vote for a government that actually represents her people.”
