Jazmine Sullivan Drops New Anthem, “Stand Up”

Jazmine Sullivan has released her contribution to the TILL soundtrack, “Stand Up.” The GRAMMY Award-winning artist specially wrote the original song for the upcoming film as a tribute to Emmett and his mother, Mamie Till-Mobley.

Sullivan said the song focuses on how Mamie “found her voice and purpose in so much turmoil.”

“I’m honored to be able to contribute to such a powerful film about such a historic and tragic moment in American history,” she continued.

Co-written, directed and executive produced by Chinonye Chukwu, TILL tells the historic and heartbreaking story of the 1955 lynching of Emmett Till in Mississippi through the eyes of his mother Mamie.
