Janelle Monae popped up last night on Arsenio Hall’s new late night talk show to perform her single “Electric Lady” after sitting down with Hall and discussing the intricacies of lyricism, especially in her song “Dorothy Dandridge Eyes”. The performance comes on the heels of a rousing set at BET’s Black Girls Rock celebration and just a continuance of one of the career of one of our favorite contemporary performing artists. Check out the video from the performance below and be sure to pick up Monae’s The Electric Lady via iTunes.
