Metropolis and The ArchAndroid are both great. I'm definitely looking forward to more, and from such a talent!

Yes the Metropolis EP was a lovely preview album i bought at the same time as ArchAndroid....she makes it FEEL and sound like a film...like a funky Blade Runner.

I love the woman so much! Out of all the contemporary artists in the world i think Janelle and Florence Welch steal it for me

She's very promising, ArchAndroid and even the one before that was very good.

I love her! The Metropolis is great, and The ArchAndroid is even better. I read that she's planning on releasing two albums next year, I hope it's true.

HAHA i love her so much....Yes like her own Body Talk style....i loved that Robyn did that...it was immense.

I hope Janelle does this i cannot wait...one for the Spring possibly...April/May and the second one later in October/November perhaps....X Factor performances, Summer festivals...olympics...collaborative performances.

I really want Janelle to be more known I love her so much!

A bump for La Monae!

Cannot wait to hear news on her two albums for this year! Hope she ensures some massive UK promo for these albums too After MDNA....she is the second most hyped artist for me this year AAAH!

I'm still waiting for Suite IV and the 18 chapter music video w/ Graphic Novel based on Cindi

Very excited for new material from her though, she's brilliant and severely underrated commercially. The ArchAndroid is one of the best albums I've ever listened to and as a body of work - pure excellence.

Haha yes, well maybe one album will be the Suite IV and the second release this year will be taking it all in a new direction perhaps But i do want a graphic novel too...Janelle just excites me...I love how not only she does take influence from all previous areas of Music and generes from Pop to SOul to Jazz to Swing to Psychedelic Rock sounds and blends it all into her own styyyle I do really think The ArchAndroid is worthy of being called a contemporary classic in its own right!

Really am excited about this lady! Hope that with her glasto performance (which i do rewatch when i can!) she really has that attention set on her I just cannot wait to see and hear what she does next.

Apparently she will be re-releasing The Archandroid album with a disc of instrumentals...and there will be a full film to coincide...read that around...sounds intriguing.

I long for a Cindy Merriweather graphic novel!

And cannot wait for her next release...hopefully it will be in the summer so she can get some UK promo/Olympics? Festivals (T In The Park maybe)...she is also supporting The Red Hot Chilli Peppers on their tour this year too

Yeah i am not sure what that is about...maybe in two parts or something.

Have you seen her glasto performance from last year? She really is sublime...her and Friendly Fires were my faves of the festival.

Deffo worth checking her set out...her band is sublime...so quirky

Over two years ago I bought The ArchAndroid! Aint it scary how time flies and its still a henomenal album!

Cannot wait for the follow up....i thought it was meant to be out for this summer....hmmmm. Either way i hope with the success of Fun.s We Are Young song she featured on she has more spotlight on her this time...so overlooked but Janelle is one of my favourite ladies of Pop out there right now killin it (Florence and Lana being the other two...so very diferent corners of the Pop Stratosphere!)
