Bang On The Monae

Although she's been knocking around for quite some time, I only recently discovered the music of Janelle Monae. Just in the nick of time too, because P Diddy's painfully cool protege is set to unleash her debut album, 'The Arch Android' next month.

The first single to be taken from the album is 'Tightrope' featuring Outkast's 'Big Boi'. The video has just surfaced and features Monae performing some trademark hip-swivelling:



Just as potent as this particular track is 'Cold War', which has been doing the rounds for the past few months.
