With her hair did into that individualistic 'do, Janelle Monae is, needless to say, a lady of character. This Atlanta native - I really don't want to say Atlantean - must have different cogs turning in her mind. A hidden gem of sorts, Janelle Monae's offbeat demeanor permeates into her musical style resulting in what can only be described as the product of an endless imagination. Pulling influences from wherever she sees fit, Janelle Monae's music concludes into a glorious mix of hip-hop, R&B, funk, motown and just all the things that manage to get you moving.
