Tracee Ellis Ross and Dakota Johnson make a mellifluous pair in The High Note trailer

Following last year’s Late Night, director Nisha Ganatra returns this spring with another exploration of female friendship forged through complex professional dynamics. The High Note, which was previously known as Covers, stars Dakota Johnson as the frustrated personal assistant to Tracee Ellis Ross’ Grace Davis, a vocal legend whose slick team of managers—led by Ice Cube—hope she’ll while away her career’s twilight with a Vegas residency. Grace, however, thinks she’s got another album in her, and Johnson’s Maggie, heretofore ignored, might be the only one who can help make it happen.
Ross knows a thing or two about the journey of a powerhouse female vocalist, being the daughter of Diana Ross, and it appears the Black-ish standout will get ample opportunity to showcase her own pipes in Ganatra’s film.
