I'm gonna drop some Janelle Monae for y'all today. My buddy Frank who can be found at his Blog of Knowledge tipped me off to her a week or so ago and I've been playing these albums a ton, since.
She's got this soul/funk/pop/rock/R&B medley that is really great. She's just released Suites II and III, of a IV suite concept album, inspired by Metropolis, a silent film made in 1927; (the film is about a futuristic city sharply divided between the working class and the city planners, the son of the city's mastermind falls in love with a working class prophet who predicts the coming of a savior to mediate their differences.) The Metropolis Suite(as these works are called) has a similar story.
Her alterego is Cindi Mayweather, a female android (Alpha Platinum 9000, model no. 57821) who is mass produced in the year 2719 for the ruling class.
At any rate; check this out, you won't be disappointed. And if you are, tough.
p classy shit here, yo
