The award-winning singer debuted his new song “Preach” during New York’s Global Citizen Festival on Saturday. He told the crowd:

“In the song, we talk about how frustrating it can be to look at your phone, read the news, see what’s happening. See how senators treat women who come forward with sexual abuse claims. See how people ridicule young people who march for the right to go to school without getting shot up. See how people would denigrate those who make the very simple claim that black lives matter. We can get frustrated when we see all of that, but we can’t give up. It’s not enough for us to talk about it or tweet about it, we’ve got to do something.”
