I know I'm probably a bit late and she might have been mentioned on this thread before but yea I'm liking her which is rare because I think most rnb music of the past 5 years has been dreadful.

She put out a fantastic album and for me it's one of the best I have heard this year. Creative, insightful and down right ****ing awesome, I do agree on the r&b side of things it just isn't what it use to be.

It is an exceptional album. I'm used to hearing exceptional albums in other genres but this in my opinion is a landmark in what is a really tired R&B genre

The sad thing is that R&B fans will probably hate this album because its too far out the box and people who aren't really big fans of R&B would love this but will probably pass them by

The ArchAndroid is, IMO, the best album released so far this year.

Sod the Archandroid, listen to Suite I the Chase. There's nothing on the Archandroid as good as the 3 songs on that, and the story comes through much clearer.

The Chase Suite EP is a good warm up but The ArchAndroid is so much better! i mean for a debut album it's the best in years! and the best album THUS far this year for sure! Janelle is a rare artist who i think will have a fantastic future in the industry, but i want her to promote the album more internationally as it is just so beautiful and thrilling and just plain and simple ART! love her.
