The Musical Messiah has landed!

So every once in a while an artist releases an album that may just be the best thing since sliced cheese. It’s happened ladies and gentleman! I can honestly say that Janelle Monaé’s “The ArchAndroid” is one of the most amazing musical experiences I have ever encountered in my life thus far. This is definitely a must for any person who dreams of calling themselves a music lover. It’s so amazing to watch an artist that most people had never heard of take off like she is preparing to do.

I remember when she released Metropolis: The Chase, beginning her out of this world story of a android with a voice of gold named Cindi Mayweather, who forbiddingly falls in love with a human named Anthony Greendown and is escaping immediate disassembly! I fell in love with her funky beats and pure vocals. I'm sure it's plain to see that I am absolutely bonkers over this album, but I am not the only one... Pitchfork gave her an 8.5 (out of 10) and apparently older listeners love her too!
Her first single "Tightrope" is sweeping the airwaves! She's been on Ellen, George Lopez, and Letterman. She's really a ball of fire!
