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.

JANELLE!
Okay so, if you haven't heard the news, Janelle Monae has signed with Bad Boy. The news hit my circle of friends (and avid JM fans) like a ton of chik-fil-a biscuts (aka bricks)...Diddy is a notorious slayer of careers.NOTORIOUS, NO, NO,NO, NOtorious!!!
I pray/hope/dare to dream that Janelle Monae doesn't fall victim to his folly.
She inspires me on the daily to be myself, I love her. From what I pieced together from this video, Wondaland is still a huge part Janelle's Metropolis. I'm glad, those guys are far too snazzy and cool to fall by the wayside.

I took this video at her album release show at Apache Cafe in 2007...Tell me she ain't the truth, and I will call you a lier.
