Video / #1 Fan Janelle Monae - "Tightrope"

Posted by on Thu, Apr 1, 2010 at 5:46 PM


Now this here, is the shit. Monae is absolutely one of my most very favorite artists of the last few years, and the best yet to carry Outkast's weird luggage (sorry, B.O.B.). She's a fucking pompadoured lightning bolt onstage, too; the first time she came to town, at Nectar, it was a back-of-the-bible Revelation. Too bad her Myspace doesn't list any Seattle dates (just yet).

Keekee - May 18th, I think!

REALLY looking forward to this album, and hoping she comes to Seattle.
