Janelle Monae

 

Back in October, Chrystal and I made our way down to New Orleans for Voodoo Expereince aka Voodoo Fest.  All around a pretty damn good festival.  One of the acts we were able to catch was by a fairly new artist Janelle Monae.  While her performance was pretty good (in the top 5 for me throughout the whole festival), it wasn't until I got a copy of her album before I was blown away.  Instantly I kept hearing Sly & The Family Stone/Funkadelic influences with mix of Motown/R&B.  While I'm generally a Rock/Punk kinda guy, I'm very impressed with this artist.  I look forward to more from Janelle.  Plus, there's something sexy about her... (sorry Chrystal).

 
A little "Psychedelic" Sly to close the post...
