New Video: Janelle Monáe - Dance Apocalyptic

Okay, I am not obsessed with Janelle Monáe or maybe I really am? This just happens to my third post on her in a week. To me she is one of those artists that has been able to tap into the soul of music and uses it to create fun and magical moments even when delivering a message through her lyrics. 

Take this song for instance, it is about the end of the world and dancing all the way until it ends. When you hear the song, you think it's a peppy, happy-go-lucky song. There is always more to her music, you just have to listen or pay attention. I love how serious she takes her craft. 

Why worry about the end? Just dance until it ends! And now please enjoy this video:

Video: Janelle Monáe closes BET Awards

Janelle Monáe closed out the 2013 BET Awards last night with a great performance of her funky big bass and empowering anthem, Q.U.E.E.N, she was joined onstage by Erykah Badu who's featured on the single.

Monáe delivered a message without being preachy, was sexy but classy without being obvious & flashy about it and there was no need to lyp-synch unlike some other performers before her. This was and is the real deal.

All you other so called "artists" need to take notes on how it's done or just step aside and let Ms. Janelle Monáe do her thing.

I can't wait to hear this song live, but until then enjoy the live version. 

Be warned your booty may shake just as the lyrics state, "the booty don't lie."

New Song: Janelle Monáe - Dance Apocalyptic

My favorite ArchAndroid, Janelle Monáe is teasing us with a new song titled Dance Apocalyptic from her upcoming album The Electric Lady due out Sept 9th, 2013.

The song is very peppy and fun and out just in time for summer bbq's.

New Vid: Q.U.E.E.N by Janelle Monáe feat. Erykah Badu

Janelle Monáe is back with a new video for her single, Q.U.E.E.N. that features Badoula Oblongata aka another one of Erykah Badu's alter egos. Q.U.E.E.N. is the first single from Monáe’s upcoming album The Electric Lady, which doesn’t have a release date yet. It’s the follow-up to Monáe’s critically-acclaimed and amazing album, The ArchAndroid. 

The video is very stylish and Monáe even dons a chic new hairdo which looks great on her but I still love her with her iconic pompadour. Looking forward to hearing more from this album. 

For now, turn up the bass on your speakers and shake it because as the lyrics say, "the booty don't lie."

You can buy  Q.U.E.E.N on iTunes here. 

Enjoy & support!
