We’ve gushed about Janelle Monáe repeatedly and about her impending new album, The Electric Lady (releasing on Sept. 10th).   The album is filled with big-name guests, including Erykah Badu (as already heard/seen on the driving Q.U.E.E.N.), Prince, Solange Knowles, and Miguel, who sings the second verse of the album’s latest track to be released, Primetime. It’s an old school, inflamed love song, and we like it like that. Listen in below and check out her newly-announced tour dates after (including Cali in early November).  Should be one of THE shows of the Fall.
