Move aside Lady Gaga, it

Being a DJ who specialises in retro and nu funk/jazz/soul/hip-hop, etc. I often get asked the boring, predictable question: 'Have you got any Beyonce?' or, more annoyingly to me, 'Lady Gaga?'. I totally respect Lady Gaga. She has carved out a niche in pop music and her image is certainly unique, which all blend to make her an interesting and original pop artist. Still, I find her music tiresome and predictable. But, wait, hang on a second, a black soul artist from the States who has previously worked with Outkast with an album released for the summer 2010? Original, unique and exciting? You bet ya. Monae's album is beyond a concept album. She picks up the 70's disco atmosphere of Michael Jackson's seminal Off The Wall album, blends in a bit of electric guitar circa ELO and early Prince, some tasty orchestral strings, a dash of of Outkast no doubt and lashings of deep fried southern funk and you have a truly brilliant album. Now I look forward to the request, 'have you got any Janelle Monae?'...

Stunning, Stunning, Stunning

This is one of the best albums I have heard in years. There is so much creativity and talent in this album, it really could shift the game, if enough people have an open enough mind and get to hear it. Just like Lady Gaga is unique and in her own category, in this epic album, Janelle Monae has carved out an entirely new category in pop music. I was lucky enough to see Janelle perform live at Hoxton Bar and Kitchen last Thursday, and as I suspected, the album rises to another level when delivered live. Particularly noteworthy tracks include the sonic vocals of 'Cold War' the movingly MJ-esque 'Locked Inside', epic end credits 'Say You'll Go' and electric lead single 'Tight Rope'. It may take this album to establish Ms Monae, but her sheer talent means she's in this for the long run. Enjoy. MN

This album is tipping on the tightrope perfectly

Great album, Monae you are doing well in the UK, I am going to try to advertise you much more, just a wonderful artist!

Biography

Born: 01 December 1985 in Kansas City, KS

Years Active: '00s, '10s

Growing up, Janelle Monáe (born Janelle Robinson) felt constrained by the limited resources offered to her in her greater Kansas City, KS, home.

She soon joined a band...
