Stand Up - Cynthia Erivo (Harriet) - MP3 instrumental karaoke

In 2017, English singer and actor Cynthia Erivo stepped into the shoes of peerless abolitionist and activist Harriet Tubman – who was praised for her pioneering anti-slavery work – to play the lead role in biographical film Harriet. For the film’s anthem, "Stand Up" – which appears in the end credits – Cynthia Erivo channels hope and strength into a powerful gospel-led track on which she sings, “Stand up / Take my people with me / Together we are going to a brand new home / Far across the river / I hear freedom calling / Calling me to answer / Gonna keep on keeping on." Following its release, the song picked up Golden Globe Award and Critics' Choice Movie Award nominations for Best Original Song and Best Song, respectively, as well as acquiring an Academy Award nomination for Best Original Song. It was also nominated for the Best Song Written For Visual Media at the 63rd Annual Grammy Awards. "Stand Up" was written by Cynthia Erivo with Joshuah Brian Campbell and produced by Will Wells and Gabe Fox-Peck.
