- The JANELLE MONAE Appreciation Thread -
I thought there was already a thread created for this lady...have loved her since 2010!
So I have created this one....unless anyone finds the other one then maybe merge it? Either way....massive news that has me all of a dither....NEW Music FINALLY is on the way... Read the report here on Hardcandymusic.com http://hardcandymusic.com/2013/04/ja...tric-lady.html Electric Lady will be the much anticipated follow up to her phenomenal debut studio album The Archandroid released the summer of 2010 (her Metropolis EP from 2008 is also worth a check out as that is where the story started) But her Neo-Soul/Funk/Jazz/Old SKool Pop sounds are so damn distinctive, he unique style is destined to become iconic...I just hope with Electric Lady will launch her to a new level...after collaboratin with FUN. last year on their hit "We Are Young" and in 2011 performed a full set at glastonbury which introduced her to an establishing UK fanbase. She is also a very diversely influenced artist too...with Prince, Bowie, Madonna, Kate Bush, grace Jones, Stevie Wonder, James Brown, Little Richard, John Lennon, Bjork...among her much appreciated artists and influences from time to time....she is destined for big things... her full debut album is here for a lsiten if you do not have it (why not?!?) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=btHl6ak1kIU and her glastonbury set from 2011 can be seen here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CjqBS...2DCD5DA83B6387 Look forward to hearing from you all... |

![]() ![]() Yeah its a sound that i hope she can FINALLY break out more this year...in 2010 Electropop was still in the mainstream so made it tougher...but hopefully with her glasto performance, recent feature with Fun. and new prospects with her record label we will see her finally break out and do much like Madonna, Prince, Bowie befor eher and steadily grow into public consciousness....thats what i hope anyway...she is so damn gifted i love it ![]() Love to see her live one day! |

The "Dance Apocalyptic" video is amazing. I love the fact she's left the tux behind for this video, and shown her more feminine side.
I am so excited for this album. I can't wait to hear it in full. Something tells me this won't disappoint and will be well worth waiting for. |

Love the new song, it might be a hit for her! Having said that I hope for more conceptual type songs on the album.

It is pretty snappy and catchy..and with mainstream music opening up to real Dance/old skool music and Neo Soul then hopefully this will be Janelles breakout song
she deserves it and it sounds so fresh and catchy! and yeah the video is insane fun!

I adore Prime Time. I think it could be the song that really propels her into mainstream success.
