Here is my 3:24 for 3/24.

We Are Young (featuring Janelle Monáe) - Fun.

Here is another infectious little ditty from their upcoming album. Also apparently Janelle Monáe is planning on releasing two albums in 2012. I’m also stoked by this as well.

#4 - The ArchAndroid (Suites II and III)  - Janelle Monáe

Video: Cold War

Even though this video doesn’t feature her fancy footwork, I am absolutely enthralled by it. In some ways it reminds me of Sinead O’Connor’s “Nothing Comapres To You” video. It just works on a deep emotional level. Brilliant video for a brilliant song from a brilliant album (and artist).

Audio: Come Alive (War of The Roses)

I’m not sure that an artist has ever had a debut album which was this ambitious & electic. It is kind of like Bowie meets Funkadelic (or Prince meets Radiohead). It is an intoxicating blend of sci-fi & Afrofuturism. It is one of those unique albums that flawlessly synchronizes weirdness with accessibility. Absolutely stunning.
