Janelle Monae released her first single off of her new album this week called Tight Rope featuring Big Boi from Outkast and it’s pretty nice.
She is set to begin a mini promotional tour next month, and her first stop will be here in DC on March 15 at the Black Cat – which we [...]
Amazing video of Janelle Monae’s first ever show in the LDN courtesy of Marsha and the good people at Soul Culture UK. Her wonderful rendition of of the classic song “Smile” is leaving me speechless.
This is the tour that NEEDED to happen. We already know that Mr Saadiq puts on an amazing show, but I was getting mad that Ms. Monae was not getting the exposure that she deserved as a recording artist. Paring her with Raaphel might be the best touring combination I’ve heard this year. I’m glad [...]
Again, I say if Ms. Monae comes to your town, GO. Her short performance at SXSW is still one of the best things I’ve seen all year. And now she paints live? NEXT LEVEL! (via This Is R&B)
Janelle is sharing the stage with Solange and Of Montreal TONIGHT in NYC at Terminal 5. Tickets might [...]
I’ve heard rumblings about this tour for a while, but I just got the official confirmaiton that the Kia Soul Collective Tour is going to go down this Fall. The Soul Collective tour brings together Film, Music, Design, and Entrepreneurship for a weekend long festival. And of course, you can test drive Kia cars as [...]
Most of y’all know that I am a very discriminiating music connisseur. So when I say that someone “killed it,” during a performance you know that said performer has brought their A-level game.
And Janelle Monae did just that.
Let’s get one thing straight. Ms. Monae only performed three songs. I think it took longer for her [...]
Update: High Quality video of Ms. Monae jumpin’ in the pool. Thanks Quirky Black Girls!
Janelle Monae – “Violet Stars” (live @ The Mondrian/Grammy Week) from tunji balogun on Vimeo.
My Twitter Timeline was buzzing about Janelle Monae’s pre-Grammy party at the The Mondrian in LA–for the performance itself yes, but also for the fact that Ms. [...]
To be honest, I was very skeptical about Janelle Monae’s move to Bad Boy, but after watching this video, I am further convinced that it was the real deal. “Many Moons” is one of the more accessible songs on her EP (other than “Mr. President,” of course) and is my favorite track from the EP. [...]
Aaliyah covers FADER. That’s what’s up!
Damn, did we mess with God or something? 7 inches of rain? Global Warming my a$$!
I’m never going to Nissan Pavilion ever again. I don’t care if the Beatles are doing a damn reunion tour with Biggie and Tupac.
Pictures from Janelle Monae’s Los Angeles debut. I got invited to the [...]

So I wrongfully predicted that Outkast associate Janelle Monae’s current project would go nowhere, but was proven wrong when P Diddy signed her to Bad Boy Recordings a couple months ago. Although fans were surprised and skeptical of the Bad Boy association, I doubt that Puff will turn [...]
The Darfur region of Sudan is locked in a civil war which has resulted in the deaths of over 400,000 people and led to the displacement of 2.5 million people from their homes.. Unfortunately, however, this genocide has not garnered any substantial media attention in the United States, and the international response to this crisis [...]
