In her saddle shoes, zoot suit, necktie, Ray-Bans and huge pompadour, rock-R&B newcomer Janelle Monae might be Col. Sanders from another freaky dimension. Her music is as futuristic as her look: Her first two EPs revolved around Fritz Lang’s classic film “Metropolis,” and her upcoming full-length recording “The ArchAndroid” (on her own Wondaland Arts Society imprint) finds her going even more “Neuromancer” cyberpunk.
Check out the music video PREMIERE of “Tightrope” Below!
Look for it all day today on MTVU, MTV HITS, MTV JAMS, MTV.com & VH1 Soul
