“Sincerely, Jane” Janelle Monae

Metropolis : Chase Suite, Janelle Monae

I’m still surprised that Janelle Monae is not a huge Pop music phenom. There was a lot of buzz around her last year with her expose perfomances and work with Oukast and Cee-Lo. “Metropolis: Chase Suite” was even nominated for a Grammy (not that means much).

This abum is a futuristic concept album where Janelle Monae takes on the persona of Cindi Mayweather, an adroid that has runaway from home beacuse she has fallen in love with a human, which is illegal in her world of Metropolis. Style of the album is pretty eclectic. Think Outkast vibe, with Gnarls Barkley production. “Sincerely, Jane” is the closing track on the album that leaves you wanting to hear more.

Listen.Love it. Dance.
