In a harmonious display of musical activism, Grammy winners and American artists have banded together in support of Tennessee's Gloria Johnson and her Senate campaign. Noteworthy voices like Allison Russell, Maren Morris, Brandi Carlile, and others are part of a coalition dubbed the "Tennessee Freedom Singers," recording the track "Tennessee Rise," a manifestation of resistance and hope aiming to get Johnson the U.S. Senate seat, Variety reports.

The "Tennessee Three," of which Gloria Johnson is a prominent member, gained notoriety after Republicans moved to eject them from the state legislature last year. Fending off this political turmoil, Johnson looks to unseat incumbent Sen. Marsha Blackburn in the fall. As attempts to legislate tighter gun laws in Tennessee fell flat, Johnson, a former special education teacher outspoken on gun reform, reproductive rights, and racial equality, rose to prominence alongside protests on the statehouse floor. In a string of vocal support, the single, alongside a music video, was unveiled on Wednesday, unifying over 30 artists to elevate her campaign and social justice issues, Rolling Stone detailed.

With the November election on the horizon, "Tennessee Rise" serves as a heavenly choir anthem, propelling voters to support change and potentially dismantle Republican hold by contesting Sen. Blackburn. This collaboration has galvanized supporters through melody, advocating for the various causes Johnson has championed. Recorded in response to failed initiatives for gun control reform and driven by the recent Nashville school shooting aftermath, the song signifies a push for progress, with Russell at the helm, The Tennessean notes.

Indicative of yesteryears when anthems captured the zeitgeist of political movements, the collaborative single wields music as an instrument for social momentum. Facing a question on racial discrepancies in the treatment of protestors at the statehouse, Johnson pointedly remarked, "I’ll answer your question; it might have to do with the color of our skin," she told Rolling Stone. As "Tennessee Rise" echoes through the state, it crystalizes the growing chorus of advocates seeking to amplify Johnson's voice—a voice that currently battles for a senate seat but has long resonated with the call for justice and equality.
