Janelle Monae has unveiled the anti-bulling themed video to her cover of David Bowie's classic 'Heroes'. Check it out below.

The US singer delivered her take on the 1977 track for Pepsi Beats of the Beautiful Game LP, a visual album which celebrates, er, football. Each track is accompanied by a film by a celebrated director, and 'Heroes' got the treatment from Young Astronauts.

Monae's electro-pop take on 'Heroes' is now accompanied by an anti-bullying themed video, which, happily, ends on an uplifting note - and takes the lyrics to 'Heroes' rather literally, with Monae making a cameo in cartoon superhero form.

Watch the video for Janelle Monae's 'Heroes' below:

Pepsi Beats of the Beautiful Game LP also features tracks from Rita Ora, Kelly Rowland, Santigold and Timbaland, with films from Spike Lee, Idris Elba and Diego Luna.
