She sounds terrific, capably reaching high notes and powering through the song’s melodies with her angelic voice.

It’s a moving tribute to West’s glorious 12-minute speech, which he urged us to “Listen to the kids” and announced a presidential run in 2020.

Leona will release I Am, her fifth studio album and first for Def Jam, on Sept. 11.
