"In the meantime, please enjoy the musical stylings and rad dance moves of Janelle Monae."For this Music Monday, I'd like to share more of these "musical stylings," though the rad dance move will be absent. Not unfortunately absent, as she replaces those slick movements with an emotional passion for her lyrics that is sure to leave you taken aback. And in a good way.
The song in question? "Cold War." It's arguably my favourite track from her most recent album, The Archandroid. At first I loved it for the song itself. The music, the vocals, the lyrics. And then I saw the music video. Immediately, I knew this was something to be shared. Odd, though, that I've waited this long to do so on my blog.
So please, take a moment to bask in the audiovisual experience that is Janelle Monae's "Cold War."It is probably the most honest portrayal of a musician I have ever seen. Enjoy.
If I may make an unsolicited Music Monday suggestion: look up and listen to some Steam Powered Giraffe.
ReplyDeleteNo, I'm not making that up. There is in fact a group called Steam Powered Giraffe.
Hmm... I will have to take a look at this Steam Powered Giraffe you speak of, if only to know whether or not it is better than a regular giraffe is.
