Janelle Monae is walking the tightrope
Janelle Monáe is an experience. She’s a charismatic singer, songwriter, producer, and performer. Her ground-breaking style crosses musical genres in a captivating postmodern merging of soul, funk, and rock ‘n’ roll.
Janelle’s 2007 debut EP, Metropolis Suits 1 of IV: The Chase was critically acclaimed when her second single Many Moons came in at #47 on Rolling Stone’s list of the 100 Best Songs of 2008. The video aired on You Tube on September 27, 2008, and received over 13,000 views in 48 hours. Many Moons was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Urban/Alternative Performance.
Monáe’s first single Tightrope from the stunning 2nd album ‘The Archandroid’ sees her team up with Big Boi (Outkast). The lush orchestration mixes with elements of musical theater, funk and the dirty south to create a truly unique sound. At one moment, Monáe's voice takes on the metallic trill of Shirley Bassey, the next she's an ethereal siren, followed by a bluesy soothsayer.
The album is a conceptual album that tells the story of a female android named Cindy Mayweather. It’s filled with pop action, orchestral suspense and soul drama.
Remixes come courtesy of Paul Harris, Organized Noize & Australia's own Hook N Sling & Goodwill.
“Ms. Monáe has one of the most enchanting voices of our generation” – Andre 3000.
“Janelle is fire! Whoever got this girl… she is going to blow up!” – Missy Elliott.
