Where have we been??!! We were happily drowning deep, deep, and deeper in A Moon Shaped Pool when Janelle Monáe suddenly pulled us out and revived us.  “Mo” Monae completely resuscitated us with St. Beauty’s newly-released song Holographic Lover. And now, for reasons that will sound apparent below, we are completely smitten with this duo, which has signed with Monáe’s Atlanta-centric label/industry Wondaland, a consortium of talented musicians and artists that includes Jidenna (and which we first wrote about six years ago). After listening to Holographic Lover, our ears are just glistening! Word to the wise: Monáe’s got the Midas touch!

In all honesty, Nylon gets the assist here. Monáe blessed the song, which Nylon has disclosed comes from the annual mixtape entitled Love The Free released by fashionista-DJ Cachee Livingston (better known as Kitty Cash and as Baby Khaled).

St. Beauty released its EP The Eephus last August and you can pick it up HERE.  After getting Holographic, check out the official video for their great track Going Nowhere off of The Eephus. Dang. So good!! We can’t wait to hear more.
