so my best friend introduced to me to an artist who has an amazing imagination. You can tell janelle monae has a passion for what she does. it's present throughout her entire full length album, The ArchAndroid (Suites II and III) and her original short EP, Metropolis: Suite I (The Chase). she is able to get your attention with a few sweet beats and a voice that is pretty soulful for her age. she quickly takes you on a journey through a world that she created; loosely based off the the 1927 German silent film, Metropolis.
she brilliantly pulls off an amazing concept that makes you feel something, if you really listen to what she has to say that is. the music in itself can carry you through the entire album on its own journey. blended with her voice, it gives you a funkadelic feel. afro-funk. anyway, take watch these videos and see what true art is. and go purchase her albums! you won't be disappointed.
"many moons"
"tightrope"
absolutely brilliant
