Janelle Monáe - "PrimeTime" ft. Miguel
VideosCommentJanelle Monáe's new music video for The Electric Lady cut "PrimeTime" is unabashedly mushy, and it's all the better for it. The story follows android nightclub worker Cindi Mayweather (Monáe) as she falls for punky, but charming patron Joey Vice (Miguel). Monáe's vision of the future is, as always, compelling and absolutely adorable. Watch it above and enjoy!

Janelle Monáe - "Dance Apocalypse"
VideosCommentThis video for funk-pop seeker Janelle Monae's new song "Dance Apocalypse" is taken both from a short film she will be releasing called "The Dance Apocalypse" and from her new album The Electric Lady. Supposedly the video is set in an alternate version of America, where Janelle Monae is The Beatles and Ed Sullivan is black. There are also zombies and fires and aliens. The song itself is an idiosyncratic piece of bouncy pop that thanks you for dancing til the end. Janelle's mad funk genius seems very much alive.
Janelle Monáe - Q.U.E.E.N. ft. Erykah Badu
VideosCommentJanelle Monáe drops some stellar visuals for her funky, strange, and eccentric new single, "Q.U.E.E.N.," which has me absolutely psyched to hear her new full-length when it drops. Enjoy!
Janelle Monáe - "Q.U.E.E.N." ft. Erykah Badu
New Tracks1 CommentR&B enigma Janelle Monáe drops a new single, which features Erykah Badu on vocals throughout much of the track. It's an incredibly funky number with a huge emphasis on synth chords that remind me of some of Prince's best tracks to come out in the early 80s.
While the track starts off a bit cheesy, a rap verse comes through during the later portion of the song with a strong set of bars that empower the song's themes of femininity and strength. Give a listen, enjoy!
