On her last release, Janelle Monáe either flew under the radar of most but was on the receiving end of much critical attention and praise. Don’t expect it this time as she prepares to release The ArchAndroid and, just to be sure, the lead single features Big Boi on the guest spot and upbeat, soulful production provided by Wondaland Arts Society.
Furthermore, I believe she’s distanced herself from the devil so let’s hope her blessings flow.

I’m in love with Janelle Monáe. That is all.
You can really hear Big Boi’s influence in here. Sounds a little like oldschool outcast.
they should really do an album together
I don’t think I’ve written Outkast with a “C.” I even refused to change it on college papers
^^^ Hahaha. This is dope.
Puffy might be cool to kick it with when you wanna party, but I’d never do business with him. He’s a leech.
Been waiting for the album since ’08. She was originally an artist on Purple Ribbon, but we all know how that turned out.
Bumped into Janelle Monáe and her band in the halls of the Superdome @ Essence last year. She is BAD on the slick.
Dope track.
omgggg omggggg omggg i luv itttt!!! janelle’s my favorite singer!!
A Big Boi/ Janelle Monae album would be dope. Ain’t no Outkast album but could be a good look. I like this move for Daddy Fat Sacks as well. This has some potential to blow as she was already a trending topic on twitter today. Big Boi’s building some serious buzz leading up to the release of Sir Luscious Left Foot.
Play it a couple of times and it will grow on u.. i like it.
Long over due.
Coo track too.
i love this message and of course all of the sounds! tightrope indeed! here’s to gaining and maintaining balance!
Really nice track! Great production, this would do good in the club.
How do I downlaod the track?
Very dope song! I always been a fan of hers even though she’s very different & in a class of her own! Ever since I first heard & seen about her around the time Idlewild came out I thought she was lowkey gorgeous & sexy even with the way she dresses with the suits & everything like that!
I love this girl. I hope she gets the recognition she truly deserves this time around.
Crack.
great team up of these two again. miss monaé fits into the dungeon-family / purple ribbon circus pretty well. they should do more stuff together.
her music makes me feel like a pre-adolescences again…she makes my bones rock with her rhythm.
FINALLY! New music from JM is here! Her music is dope! I love her!
ITS ABOUT DAMN TIME! I thought metropolis had been abandoned by Diddy cause clearly he doesnt know what to do with her. The industry is hungry for talent of the likes of Miss Monae. She is my HEROIN-E, and I am her forever faithful, scratching, fiending junkie…gimme more, gimme more!!!
Janelle Monae is setting the standard that all musicians should strive toward. I bought Tightrope & Cold War on Itunes today so I’m flippin out!!!
