"Sometimes it feels futile to be making art in this cruel and extreme political climate," Grimes wrote along with the preview. "But some of the brightest moments of the last few months for me and for a lot of you, I suspect, have come from seeing Janelle Monae's amazing and positive vision of the future, especially when we are being introduced to so many possible dystopian futures.
