As if Tightrope w/ Big Boi wasn’t enough; here goes another new one from Ms. Monáe. The ArchAndroid drops May 18th. Oh, and you best believe this is the actual CDQ. Sorry web rippers.

correct me if I’m wrong but wasn’t this the female P.Diddy was touting as the next big thing? I like her music but the next big thing?
Wow. Whoa. That just made me tear up.
This is some deep shit.
I’m so glad my generation gets an artist like this.
This is what I was waiting for… Tightrope was OK, but this sounds like herself.
mp3 =/= cdq
bitch need a haircut
^^i copped the song personally off monae’s site. go ahead and listen to the file other sites have up and feel free to compare.
LFTFL.com – Sounds like this is the first you’ve heard of her. Go do some research, come back, and drop a thorough impression. Cause she IS the next.
Nous – I’ve heard more of her music they you have, I was the first dj to spin her music on a mixtape so I don’t need to come back with a thorough impression, especially not to prove anything to you. I don’t think she’s the next big thing. Does she make good music? Will I support her as an artist, sure I will but in today’s music business no one is next, everyone is making good music and toiling away in obscurity.
Why did she have to go to Diddy!? POR QUE!?
LFTFL.com – Calm down, bro. God, you guys are so on edge on these internet comment sections. You don’t have to prove anything to me, man. LOL Whatever happened to opinions?
Janelle Monae shouldn’t even worry about being the next anything, she should just let her music do what it’s been doing.
What happened with the Metropolis Suite EP?
Nous – Hold on, that was supposed to be your opinion?
What happened with the Metropolis Suite EP?

She rereleased Suite one and her upcoming album, The ArchAndroid, is supposed to be suites two and three.
Diddy already has her sniffin’ coke………… just playin’
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 it would have been nice to see her EP plan work! Still looking forward to the album though!
Yes, aggressively given, though. More like a rebuttal. LOL
Definitely feeling this. Nice to hear some substance in songs coming out nowadays.
Good night, Metropolis. Hello, Cold War. Janelle Monae is genius.
WOW, this chick is going places. FUCKIN dope.
dope
Dope as fuck.
Ya’ll know it’s WWIII, and I’m chillin.
this shit wack..yall niggas serious?? cmon u flamin fruitcups
Outkast Bombs over baghdad-ish, I like her stuff but I think there are other comparable female singer songwriters that are better.
I remember seeing her with a full head of hair… She was beyond fuckable!
@fulltimeboss. Let me guess what you think is hot…
Some rap shit that you AIN’T living.
Catch up cuz!
She is definitely the truth. REAL music that makes you dance, laugh and cry.
Let’s see who can do that..(in no particular order)
Prince
Michael Jackson
James Brown
NOT…
Lil Wayne
Jeezy
Rick Ross
get this bitch a weave or something that pompadour shit is not a good look
Dang these people don’t know good music. Yall so brainwashed by the same old junk that’s been playing on radios and music shows for years now. THIS is different. THIS is real. And she’s a BAJILLION times better live. THATS what makes her the next big thing. Her music…but her ability to perform her music to the craziest standards.
TRUE musician/artist.
/sign @ Yummadoyou’s list.
Janelle Monae is the TR-UTH. I don’t know why people stay concerned about her connection to Diddy, it’s clear he’s not REALLY too involved in the music making process if she’s coming out with stuff this spectacular. It’s obvious her label at Wondaland has it all under control. Tightrope and Cold War have me HYPe for this album. Cant wait.
I say stop talkin bout the diddy connection and just enjoy the music.
This girl is changing the game in 2010. No Question. She’s the future of what we know about music. Thank God for an early christmas this year.
Really, aiiite, REALLY!? #1) A bitch? #2) Get a weave? REALLY? Aren’t there enough “artists” out there with weaves that you obviously feel all women must wear to make good music? It’s clear that her hair /look doesn’t make you comfortable; it’s obvious Ms. Monae’s music is not for you. You have a choice to listen to whatever you want….it’s ok. Very impressed that you knew that she rocks a pompadour and are able to spell it correctly. Maybe, give it a real listen this time, and try NOT to think about “her LOOK”?
Janelle ain’t for idiots, that is all!! LOL Lovin Cold War..can;t wait til May!
Quintessential JM…giving us the best! This is a great song and I know the album will be nothing short than a breathtaking adventure!
go Jane…
OMG ! She makes me move in ways that are embarrassing! I LOVE Janelle Monae! Cindy Mayweather strikes again!
Best damn show I’ve EVER seen. Janelle isn’t “the next big thing”. She’s a defining moment in music history. She’s David Bowie, Andy Warhol, and Octavia Butler all wrapped up in one little bundle.
Seriously, I’ve never danced like that before. I’ve never been moved by music like that before. I can’t wait until May.
