Janelle Monae

I have some time to burn so I thought I would do a quick post.

Todays musical artist...Janelle Monae. I first heard her album in the car of a fellow student...maybe my freshman or sophomore year?  I'm not sure where we were going, but I heard the album a few times that day...and the song Sincerely Jane stuck with me. I went to my dorm and looked her right up. Sincerely Jane voices concerns and issues in a way that really sticks with you. That song is genius and still my favorite song that she has released. I don't know why the song wasn't more popular.

I wish I had found a better quality live version because I would have posted that. 

I also like a few of her other songs, but still nothing can top Sincerely Jane. So talented. 

I love Prime Time. She looks flawless in the video. I was so excited when she become a Covergirl....I don't remember seeing many deeper skinned covergirls with natural hair. I'm pretty sure she was the first. Anyway back to the video the girl with huge Afro ❤️. It's making me wanna blow out my hair. I love a big 'fro and I'm having a severe case of afro envy now.

I wasn't really into Tightrope until I played the song on Just Dance. I love her music videos though, I don't understand why they don't have more views.  This one looks very James Brown inspired. 

I actually just downloaded this one. I don't think I listened to the lyrics before. I was clearly trippin, right?  Love the vid and so many 'fros and women of color queening. How can you not love the video?

And then of course Yoga. I loved this from the first listen and still every time it comes on...BLASTING.

And now I better stop before I post all her vids. I should probably actually go back and listen to her songs again because I'm sure I missed a couple great ones..and I haven't listened to her newer songs yet. 

Maybe I should have Janelle Monae day...
