After quietly sending a charge through the world of online music with “Tightrope,” the pompadoured former Purple Ribbon princess known as Janelle released “Cold War” yesterday via her website. This one gives the accustomed a dosage of the familiar from the Metropolis… sound.

Janelle gotta new album too? This is great for music…CBR, Nneka, Sade, Erykah Badu, Janelle Monae, Kelis, J. Hud this year as well as more too… real shit
I saw her video on MTVu one day and loved it. Took me awhile to find her again. Good shit Gotty
I been checkin for her, shes talented..I wish her ep plan would have worked but..ehh
Good shit again from Janelle! Definitely has that old Metropolis sound to it! Can’t wait for her debut full-length album this year! Although like Chism mentioned it would have been nice to see her EP plan work! Still looking forward to the album though!
This album is going to be FIRE. Trust me. Knowing how those crazy cats work at Wondaland these songs are probably not even near the best ones on the album. We got a lot to look forward too.
Quintessential JM…giving us the best! This is a great song and I know the album will be nothing short than a breathtaking adventure!
