The Janelle Monae phenomenom continues apace.
outer-space soul-funk aesthetic is about as weird as mainstream music has been since Outkast started tinkering around Atlanta studios. She's undeniably one of the most exciting music stories of 2010, and more and more people are noticing.
She's on the cover of the August/September "juice" issue of Vibe, with Diddy and Rick Ross, for instance. Also, her video for "Cold War" dropped last week. It's a four-minute close-up of her gorgeous face making beautiful sounds. I seriously think that I am in love with her, like the way little girls are in love with Justin Bieber.
