As the school climate strike movement continues in spite of summer vacation, Australian singer and songwriter Montaigne has released a new single and music video inspired by the youth who have taken to the streets around the world to demand that adults take bolder action to battle the global crisis.
“READY,” Montaigne told Teen Vogue this week, “is about this political moment, where humanity is starting to realize how actually cooked this planet is, that it never had to be like this, and that we have the power now to overthrow those who’ve forced us into this corner.”

“It’s music that I’m proud of representing because I think that it reflects the feelings swirling around the current political shit-fest my generation is facing, and it attempts to transform the anxiety among those feelings into angry power,” explained Montaigne, whose given name is Jessica Cerro. “It’s like a fuel source.”
The advocacy group 350 Australia tweeted Friday that the new music video—which was released Wednesday—is “a powerful call to action on the #climatecrisis.”
