The ArchAndroid will finally hit stores May 18th, via Wondaland Arts Society/Atlantic Records.
Beautiful record.
I have been waiting on something soulful like this for a long time. This song really shows that this girl can sing her ass off. Those runs at the end are CHURCH RUNS!!! YES MA’AM JANELLE MONAE!!!
She sounds good. Wish she’d change that hair, but she a beautiful girl with a beautiful voice.
Now can I get an Outkast album please…lol
go janelle! love this chick. “tight rope” is mos def my new jam.
I like it and I like her but the whole 60′s sound thing has been SO done. I guess that’s the only sound that’s not dance/pop that’s inspiring young artist these days.
I.LOVE.IT.!
I LIKE THE SONG BUT I HAVE TO BE IN THE MOOD TO LISTEN TO 60S INSPIRED MUSIC.
I love it. It has an old school feeling to it. I didnt see why big boi should of been on it.
I like it!
A lot actually…
Great upbeat song for 2010!
This is exactly what I have been waiting for ALL year!!! I am about to flip my desk over at work. We are all in here playing the song on my boss’ computer!!! I cannot believe how good this song makes me FEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLL! I love this!!!!
I love it and desperately needed a new jam by Janelle Monae!!!!!!
DEATH AT RIHANNA SWAGGA JACKING DIS LOOK
This is MOMENTOUS. This album = album of the year.
iLike her style..her name..
she soUnds so eclectic ..
she iS goOd
Wow! I’m shocked that I really REALLY loved this track. I usually hate Janelle Monae’s style, but I was pleasantly surprised. I think I’ll download this track.
love her!!! gorgeous girl and amazing music
i really like this
I love the song! Now she should go snatch her hairs back from Rihanna before people start acting like Janelle stole it from her.
Is she still signed to Bad Boy? If so, that’s unfortunate.
Ima need a new hair style this time around…
Beautiful…
I like her a lot. She’s definitely not mainstream, which I like about her. Reminds me of a female Prince..would she be called Princess? hm, just a thought
GREAT SONG
great song! get it Janelle!
I can’t wait for the accompanying Video.
i love janelle, she’s too hot for tv!
Uhhh, I wonder how she keeps putting out music w/o selling it. Sorry, just a thought.
YES YES YES!
2010 is done for me because this just made my year!
Tip Tip on it!
why did you all put a free download link? brian, that is not cool. how will the w.a.s. ever make any money if you put a free download right from the beginning. i love this song and its being passed around like candy. when it actually does come out on itunes, not as many people will buy it because they already have it
I like this one, I love her and she’s so animated on stage when she performs!
This just made my day!! Love it
She looks like Michelle Williams.
she copied this song name
from a indie rock group called Yeasayer it was a big hit in 2008 with the hipster indie rock scene.
I love the song! However, I’m a little PO’ed at ConcreteLoop’s interstitial ads popping up in the middle of me reading, viewing, or listening to a post. There has to be a better way to get the advertisements noticed.
Love her!
I LOVE IT!
THIS RECORD IS CRACK
Can’t get into her.
Finally something different…. i appreciate the Soul Foul sound instead of auto-tune
My “can’t wait till summer song”. Janelle sounds like her voice matured a lot. Gotta add this to the iPod so i can “Tip on the Tightrope”
Janelle Monae is in a category of her own! She never ceases to amaze me and I am glad she is back on the music scene in a major way! Her vocals are insane and her music is simply incredible! I hope she gets the recognition she truly deserves! JM, you rock!
