The Music: Janelle Monae

A friend of mine introduced me to the sound of Janelle Monae a few months back…

I respect the progressiveness of her sound and style but I can’t honestly say I’m a fan just yet. Could she be too edgy for me? Perhaps.

I am however a huge fan (or stan as the kids say now) of her track Cindi which I wouldn’t say is her typical sound at all but does show off her diversity.

Anyway, the soulful inflection at the end is a real highlight for me and I’ve posted the vid below for your viewing pleasure.

What do you think?

Is Janelle Monae your cup of tea? And whatever happened to Cindy (the doll) anyway? Did arch rival Hawaiian Barbie take her on a boat trip and leave her to sleep with the fishes? It’s a worrying thought.
