Janelle Monáe @ Apple
Janelle Monáe appeared at the Perimeter Mall Apple Store yesterday to do a small concert for her fans rather her "supporters". The crowd was intimate due to the fact that this appearance wasn't promoted at all, I got the inside word from an actual employee of Apple (a special thanks to Andrea). All the guests recieved a free 5 song iTunes gift card. Janelle performed her usual hits: Violet Stars Happy Hunting, Many Moons, Smile, & Sincerely Jane. Her performance was high energy and she added to her repitoire showcasing a few new "signature dance moves". She sounded fantastic her voice is simply magnificent. I took a few pictures.
I've been anticitpating her new material for quite some time now...QUITE SOME TIME! I've come to realize that in the industry nothing is set in stone. So when I make these statements do not hold me to them:
@ the end of her wonderful performance Janelle Monáe said that Metropolis Suite 1 would be re-released with additional tracks on August 12, 2008 (sidenote: that is two days before my 22nd birthday). Now I also heard that she is shooting a video later on this summer in Atlanta, and a full album will be released in January of 2009.
We'll see...in the mean time I'll continue to love her.
