This has been a wonderful birthday week but the release of this video on my birthday really made my day special!
Janelle Monae is hands down one of my favorite artists and has been for a couple of years. You wonder why...her live show and the video of "Tightrope" feat Big Boi should be explanation enough.
Janelle Monae & Gypsy
I had the pleasure of seeing her live show and working with her well put together team (**shout out to Jeff, one of only a handful of people that make me smile at the thought of them) earlier in the month when she performed to a sold out crowd at the Black Cat in DC.
Everything about Ms. Monae incites you to move, to act, to just do something and no matter who you are, how gangster your lean, how cute your walk...everyone falls under her cyber spell. If you ever have the opportunity to see her perform live DO IT, you will not be sorry!!!!!!!
Performance at the Black Cat in DC 3.15.10
This video is no different. I swear to you as I watched it I STRUGGLED to stay in my seat. My body was moving with out any direction from my brain. The beat, the dancing, just the song commands action-my little body politely obeyed.
Most enjoyable is how REBELLIOUSLY BEAUTIFUL (yeah that's a Gypsy Soul thang) she is! She has good music, great substance and guess what she has FUN (I think people/artists forget what that is). She gets our admiration and RESPECT because she's fully clothed and RAWKS it, she has an awesome voice and uses it for GOOD, and she makes being YOURSELF...COOL.
Check out the video of "Tightrope" Feat Big Boi
from the upcoming album ArchAndroid (5.18.10)
