Grade: A
Songstress Janelle Monáe’s sophomore album “The Electric Lady” dropped on September 10 to much hype, and Monáe delivered.
The album had a variety of featured artists like Prince, Erykah Badu and Miguel. Along with fantastic collaborations, this album had a good mix of upbeat songs and slower songs.
Janelle Monáe’s voice is just raspy enough and her lyrics both intrigue and empower. The radio interludes on the album are also a nice touch. As a highly anticipated album of the season, “The Electric Lady” is a hit in my book.
The “Dance Apocalyptic” is a must hear on this album. If you’re into soulful tunes and smooth beats be sure to listen to this album.
