Janelle Monáe

[Shaun]

It appears we're unaware of this pop goddess.

Think Grace Jones/David Bowie's androgyny, set to a mix of R&B, electronics and classical music. Sounds odd but it works. Brilliantly.

Some of the album's better tracks (including NME's #2 song of the year)

get out.

[ILoveTRW]

not feeling it

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

You, you're a jet, a flying gun
You kill me softly with your sun
You melt my wings and call it fun
I should run

Faster and faster
I should run
Faster and faster
From your arms

:dance:

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

not feeling it

:bored:

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

zippy and trw did you listen to faster and make the bus? coz if you didnt like those then your so gay

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

The way you are now
You're never gonna make the bus
Even though
Everybody's so impressed
You've got "Do androids dream of electric sheep?" under your pillow Oh!
I saw you spit on London just like you were Peter Pan
The way you are now
You're never gonna make it in my kitchen
Last I was here I was convinced I was your favorite warrior

:lovedup::dance:

[Iceman]

Not really, if you were smart you would have looked at the dates of when that was posted about her being Fat, 4 months ago, I replied only a few minutes after you, be more original with your comebacks.

[Shaun]

we were watching some awards ceremony and ukturtle pointed Miranda out as "that fat girl" or something

Janelle Monae is set to release an instrumental version of her entire 2010 album 'The ArchAndroid (Suites II and III)'.

The Kansas City born singer revealed the news via her Twitter account and explained that more information on the release would follow. She wrote: "I am releasing an instrumental album of 'The ArchAndroid'. More details to follow. And yes, new music is / has been done..."

Monae is also set to feature on 'All Of Me', the forthcoming album from UK hip-hop artist Estelle, alongside fellow guest stars Rick Ross and Common.

Speaking to Vibe magazine, Monae recently paid tribute to fellow touring partner Amy Winehouse, who was found dead in her Camden home nine days ago. Monae said:

I was honored then, and I am now, that I had the opportunity to share the same tour and stage with Amy this year in Brazil. Each night she came out onstage, she performed effortlessly.


She continued:

At our first meeting, she was very shy, a sweet girl. Her first words to me were, 'It's so nice to meet you finally. I'm shy; you're a shy girl like me, huh?' She was so giving: She even bought me a swimming suit that she thought I'd like.

:love:

[Doogle]

I'M LISTENING TO HER NOW OMG

weird :suspect:

[Lewis.]

:love:

[Niall]

I keep meaning to listen to her album...

[Lewis.]

It has the same effect on me that I get when I listen to 'groove is in the heart'... I can't help but tap my head - I just can't stop :tongue:

[Benjamin]

I really can't get into her music. :sad:
