JANELLE MONAE DOES INTERVIEW MAGAZINE

September 4th, 2006

Janelle Monáe was featured in Andy Warhol’s Interview Magazine this month as a featured artist. Interview is a publication which features the latest in high fashion, music, film and art. They like to catch artists on the rise before they get too big! The spread has some beautiful photos shot by photographer Keith Martin. Janelle is featured in the September issue, on stands now, with Kirsten Dunst on the cover. Make sure you pick up a copy!

    She is so classic. She inspired me to go natural. Her voice takes me back to Dorothy Dandridge/Lena Horne… She is such a treat!

  11. I just wanted to say “Thank you” to you, Brian, if it weren’t for you I would have never paid attention to Janelle! I think she’s great; she has her own style, and her voice is beautiful!!

    BTW, this a nice photoshoot.

    this girl is hot shyt, i don’t no if u ever heard her song Letting Go…its such a feel good song especially wen u feelin like shyt. She is definetly bringing something new and different to the music industry compared to cookie cutter artists like rihanna and cassie. big boi has a very good eye for talent!!!

    I think these pics are beautiful, but I’ve seen janelle monae with this look too often on this site. This is like her signature look, especially with the hair, I think she needs to switch up her style a little bit or else she will start to get boring and become very predictable.

    Her individuality reminds me of another great artist, Lauryn Hill.

    Keep chasing your dreams Janelle. I think success on your terms is near.
    I wish her the best
