GRAMMY Award-nominated singer, Janelle Monáe recently revealed the music video for her Zoë Kravitz-assisted track, “Screwed”.

Serving as the latest single off her album Dirty Computer, the catchy energetic track features evocative lyrics filled with sexual, political innuendos. In the music video, we see the artist and her companions being chased after by drones and masked guards. The visual is actually a choice cut from her lauded Dirty Computer narrative film which serves to express the theme of her third studio album.

Check out Janelle’s music video of “Screwed” below.
