Oh man. You guys. I'm pretty excited for Janelle Monae's new record. I really dug the whole sci-fi soulness of The ArchAndroid, but this new 60s ish I can defiantly also get into. "Q.U.E.E.N." was so slick and now this?! Girl has got her hair DOWN! Trust me I loved the suit and pompadour, but it's nice to see this other side of her as well. She's still Janelle Monae, just feeling out a different vibe, and for that I applaude her. Top that off with the creative explosion that is this video treatment and it's all just so groovy. The Electric Lady is due out September 10th 2013.

music video of the day: "Q.U.E.E.N." by Janelle Monáe ft. Erykah Badu
Because this ish is king. Because these lyrics are royal. Here's just a couple of my favs...
they be like "ooh let them eat cake", but we eat wings and throw them bones on the ground
but you gotta testify, because the booty don't lie
Badu's words are so true. The booty don't lie y'all! It don't! These are just facts that we need to face people! The booty don't lie. Now excuse me while I freak along & play this on repeat.
