Janelle Monáe

Janelle Monáe’s promising sophomore album, The Electric Lady, is now streaming one week before its September 10th release date via VH1. The R&B Queen in training enlists a little help from Prince (who doesn’t just feature on anybody’s album), the Queen herself – Erykah Badu, Solange Knowles, Miguel (see “Primetime”), and Grammy award winner Esperanza Spalding. At first listen, The Electric Lady offers all the necessary elements for an R&B classic – it’s funky, it’s vibrant, it’s daring, and definitely electric. Hear it for yourself below and pre-order The Electric Lady on iTunes here or cop the two-disc deluxe edition at Target next week.
