Tracee Ellis Ross channels her mother’s humanity as she plays Grace Davis, a middle-aged black superstar who has reached the peak of her career along with her long-time manager portrayed by Ice Cube. Dakota Johnson plays Grace’s overworked personal assistant who aspires to be a music producer but has gotten stuck running errands for 3 years. Just when things seemed their careers were stagnating, the manager presents Grace with a career-altering choice that could change Grace and Maggie’s lives forever, forcing them to decide individually if they want to play it safe or listen to their hearts and take the risk.
Expect female empowerment as Grace and Maggie fight an uphill battle for their ambitions through ageism and sexism in the music industry. Maggie and her ideas are not being taken seriously as a young woman in an assistant position that wants the male-dominated position of music producer. Grace struggles to stay relevant as she desires to make new music while her strictly male team wants her to repeatedly perform her greatest hits in fear that the public wouldn’t respond well to a female singer after a certain age.
The High Note will also be Ms. Ross’s musical debut as she sings six original songs, including the soundtrack’s lead single “Love Myself,” fulfilling a long-standing dream of her to sing as she plays fictional diva icon, Grace Davis.
