Video PREMIERE of Janelle Monae’s ‘Tightrope’

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.
