omg i aint never heard nobody like this!!! i mean just when u think u heard it all n i like to think myself ecclectic. never heard a concept like this put into music form and she is so lovelyto boot!!!
OMG!!!!! C'MON!!!!!!!!! TOOOO BEAUTIFUL!!!! Nothin better than a soultry 6/8 time signature track.. I think i'll do live bass to this.... Smh... this is TOO real
Honestly I never expected diddy to go with this style of music, big fan of janelle monae because of her creativity and abilities to sing and DANCE and she is the only neosoul singer that went out of everyone standards to express her music. I'll support her what ever i can now
@bigdragon680 Its a partnership. She has her own label, The Wonderland Arts Society. He is not involved in any of the creative aspects of her music projects. She has other big projects coming up that she planned even before she partnered with Diddy.
@bigdragon680 That's cool. As you can hear for your self this song shares the themes of The ArchAndroid, but it was recorded years before The ArchAndroid. I believe she was 17 when she recorded this.
@bolder2009 so she thought of this idea since the age of 17, I'm surprise there hasnt been a musical about this im guessing it will be in the future man to have a mind like that at the age of 17 must be a rare thing
@bigdragon680 I know she is working on a movie based on 'The ArchAndroid', but rumour has it that she is also working on a musical. She is trained in musical theatre.
@bolder2009 musical would be great but movie idk to be honest reason why i say this because its hard to deliver a movie with a message that she is trying to reach out to the world esp when everyone now and days only watch or do anything just for pure entertainment
@bigdragon680 Well The ArchAndroid has a lot of cinematic qualities. Its a concept album with a narrative that could be made more coherent through the the medium of Film. Janelle and her creative team at The Wonderland Arts Society are made up of musicians, graphic artists, writers and film makers. The movie was always a part of her vision even before the album was made. I only wish she would release 'The Audition', but she said that it's not gonna be re-released as it was just a stepping stone.
@bolder2009 you can easily download The Audition by searching for it (thanks for mentioning the name of that album btw). I don't like stealing music from artists i love, but if she's not going to release it officially then it's my only option. of course if she changes her mind and releases it, i'm definitely buying it.
@Cuddlebunzzzz I have 'The Audition', but I don't like listening compressed music files. The Audition deserves the best audio quality, and that is vinyl.
@bolder2009 I only have lil doubts but then again i forgot who we are speaking about, well if her movie was her first image then there is a high chance it will stand out better then the album. I only hope the message gets through that's all. Yeah i tried looking to buy her album Audition but failed so i just downloaded the album. Its great if you can get better luck on ebay then me then i would suggest you download it also hate to say i agree with pirating but hey hard to find good music now
@bigdragon680 I asked her personally, about releasing 'The Audition' and she down played it. It seems its not a part of her future plans. I've had it for a few years, but like I said, the audio quality of MP3 is not as good because its compressed. Great albums deserve to be heard as concieved and recorded in the studio, in the best format.
@bolder2009 Yeah i understand exactly how you feel once again, but too me i had to suck it up i guess esp since i wanted to learn about the archandroid and the beginning started on Audition if i got my information correctly. Though it may never be compared to the original quality, buy its enough to keep my heart satisfy when it comes to listening to real music or music with a deeper meaning maybe one day if we speak enough she might bring it out for us to buy and fully appreciate
Janelle is signed to her own label the wondaland arts society Diddy has no say creatively he's not involved in the music at all. He's just on board to help promote her
@sonicravenxx she is signed to her own label the wonderland art society its a partnership between them & Atlantic and bad boy records a very unique partnership diddy doesn't have any say in the music she said it herself.
@Miss2sho well he obviously has something to do with it,because i bought the fucking janelle monae CD,and his name is on the back when the names of people who helped make the CD. so he had something to do with it.
@sonicravenxx was there any need to swear can't you get your point across without using profanity. I bought the cd too what exactly is your point. I still maintain that he has nothing to do with the creative side of the music. executive producers handle the business side of things the distribution the promotion etc which is what I said in the first place.
@Miss2sho oh i did? whoops i though i said hell in my mind..and ill use any word i need to.
and most of the creativity of the music wasnt even made by janelle monae.ok whatever,what IM trying to tell you is that i read somewhere on an interview that they worked together so lets get that through for a second.
@sonicravenxx Janelle is very involved in her music from the writing to the production its not just her obviously though the wonderland arts society is a group of artists like graphic novelist screenwriters producers etc . Don't you see when people ask her all the time about badboy records and why she signed with them and she has to correct them.
@sonicravenxx I bet it frustrates her but you can see here she says he has no creative involvement. You can see it hereon youtube search split your wit Janelle monae. Let this be the end of it now because I'm right.
@Miss2sho like i just previously said, i didnt say "creative involvement" i said they worked together. and im right about that so you cant say your right because im right about what i said,and u just so happend to be right about "creative involvement"
I stopped listening to Radio as we know it, about 7 years ago, and only listen to classic soul and Jazz , and Great music, and i just discovered this great Artist, thank God for channels like youtube the best ,one day the music buying public will dump, the Radio stations and demand Quality music, Oh i almost forgot about the Great Gospel music that 's being put out by the best artist outside of the jazz idiom.
@specsmenace mmm, you consider her far out and different? mmmmmmmm, interesting because her sound is not that new maybe not heard on the radio but not tht diferent...
@specsmenace I know what you mean, however, I can't stand .Diddy! He's a greedy, dirty, money, hungry dog! Mary.j, and Faith both had to much talent to even be associated, with the name Bad Boy and so does Janelle Monae. He's nothing but a slimy leech. He exploits the talent of others, because he's never had any, Biggie, Kim, Mary, Faith, Cassie, everyone from making the band, and now Janelle. I luv Janelle, but he destroys her credibility when I see his name in the same sentence as hers!
I love performers who are about the music, images, sound and everything about their art....I love jill scott, mary j blidge, kelis , and now Janelle... Just shows that urban music is still worth listening to.....Love you Janelle..feed the haters crambs
Kudos to Diddy for allowing Janelle to be herself. She exists as an artist in a space that is not necessarily commercial, but is beautiful nonetheless. Love. Love. Love her work.
Did you ever see the 1927 movie, metropolis? It is hella scary. It's all about the illuminati controllin the masses. Do they use music artists as the mediator between the head and the hands? (The elites and the workers?)
@melissacarl2002 It's not about the Illuminati, it's about the socio-economic gap between the poor workers and the upper class managers in a laissez faire capitalism, futuristic dystopia.
But yes, it is a good movie. It's very accurate to how modern day capitalism turned out.
Janelle's music simply makes my heart smile, puts me at ease, and allows my mind to contemplates things, not otherwise thought about...many thanks to you Janelle for that...
@ladyg314 Yeah I'm not so sure that he deserves to manage her. She's not a "Bad Boy " type of singer in my opinion. I think she surpasses his label. People might disagree with me but I dont give a shit. From what I've seen on "Making Da Band" Diddy is all about sex appeal and nice asses for the most part. Meeting Janelle made him wake up and see a bigger picture. He's lucky he found her not vice-versa. I do respect the fact that he saw a raw talent in Mary J Blige that the world needed to see.
@ladyg314 ...as a fellow Atlanta musician, I think Ms. Monae joined the Bad Boy camp to assist with distribution and marketing. She still obviously has major control over her creative destiny. She, like the rest of us, understood that without major money, you will unfortunately be unable to grow past your local scene. Much blessings to Ms. Monae and her journey...See you at the top!
@ladyg314 She's a much better artist than him...more talent, and more creativity...even her music videos are different and interesting, unlike diddy's
@starcominfinity As Janelle says in another song: The way some people are now, they're never gonna make the bus. I take the advice of Tightrope: Just dance up on the haters.
I Think She's Will save u From the other music that is playing now and day's when i her Janelle Monae it's Like A hole new World Open's up in My mind........Speechless
omg this is an AWESOME prelude to her suites I, II, & III. it is too cool how she had these ideas in mind for so long. aaaghhh I did NOT discover her soon enough. gotta find this albuuum
@laalalala1 i just googled janelle monae the audition and some website came up with a whole unreleased CD it says megaupload in the url so u can get this and some other songs
@BrownStarChick15 thats what i was thinking...im holding on to every bit of her, solange, bilal, maxwell, erykah and a few others that we have left....
@BrownStarChick15 She's been this for *years*. If she had wanted mainstream success, she could have done it a long time ago when she was in meetings with all the major labels telling her to change her style and sound. But she didn't. She's a success in that she didn't forego her true self just for money and fame.
True, but look at Black Eyed Peas. Their lyrics for the song Fallin' Up from the 90s would give you hope right? Although they were popular hip hop for awhile, their albums were still unique. But... their The END album has so many hints of mainstream in it. I don't want Janelle Monae ending up like that as well.
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII love janelle monae i'm like her twin only i can't sing as good lol but i love her music every track is touching some kind of way i wish all artist sing about how wrong the world is and LOVE not sex love but real love
And it's a common thought that wired folk can be sold and bought. That we have no feelings no memories or minds, That we're bionic strumpets only worth a dime. To some it's a surprise when I smile. And when I hold your hand, they say, \"How can a wired thing understand? Love is too deep; it's too wide to feel when your soul is a button and your foot glows in heels.\" Program. Program. Reprogram. One nation, under a microchip. Neon slaves, electric savages, open your hearts. Open your eyes.
View a sky without any blue. Breakfast on incandescent, built to chew. Dream to find another world Where a cyborg can love and a cyber girl is still a queen. Chorus Where there's no law, Tying my heart from the start. Where there's no war, if my dreams run a little wild, But if there's no call from joy control Warning me against this disease in my heart. Freein' my soul.
woooooo!!!! Janelle Monae is soooo fine and ginuwiiiiine. Im sorry. I dont mean to get ridiculous but its necessary. its like someone took Halley Berry & jada Pinkett' put them in a blender and gave them talent. She is outrageous. She just made it hard for us to care about anything or anybody else. I dont wanna hear that shit if J. Monae didnt do it now. Im like Charley Murphy when the dude said that shit aint "BOW"!!! Hit his ass right in the jaw. Dont say shit about J. Monae. She is it!!!
Hello Soulfulbohemian, I am a newbie fan of Janelle Monae. I would love to get hold of The Audition tracks. My email address is gruveygirl420@hotmail,com
its hard to believe she's only 24, yet oozing with such talent, charisma and intelligence. Music talents like these only come once in a while, and I think we're witnessing the emergence of one right now.
This reminds me of times when new styles of music hit such as outkast, where you have to stop because her look is interesting and fresh, then you hear that lauren hill soul float out and spin a familiar story in a brand new way...talent!
The ArchAndroid is Suite 2 and 3 and it's absolutely brilliant.
I wonder if she'll re-release some of the songs from The Audition on Suite 4. I think that would make so much sense. Metropolis (this song) should deifnitely be on Suite 4. It seems to be part of the whole Metropolis story. I'm loving it!
It sounds like she based her concept album on the 1927 German movie called "Metropolis". It was about a female cyborg that was not allowed to be free.
This isn't a genre of music that I usually listen to but it's so very refreshing to hear someone with talent who is clearly NOT some "autotuned" hack.
I love everything about Janelle Monaé!! He music, artistry, concepts, and she's flawlessly beautiful! I'd marry her if I didn't like men..lmao

Estrella1101 1 year ago
@BrownStarChick15 She's been this for *years*. If she had wanted mainstream success, she could have done it a long time ago when she was in meetings with all the major labels telling her to change her style and sound. But she didn't. She's a success in that she didn't forego her true self just for money and fame.

True, but look at Black Eyed Peas. Their lyrics for the song Fallin' Up from the 90s would give you hope right? Although they were popular hip hop for awhile, their albums were still unique. But... their The END album has so many hints of mainstream in it. I don't want Janelle Monae ending up like that as well.

Your chariot will arrive.
Hey, Anthony Greendown from sector nine. (From sector nine)
With beautiful eyes
I've served you now about thirty-eight times.
Thirty-eight times I've looked in those eyes.
You see me laughing, the love when I hold your hand,
I wanna take you, take you with me to another land.

Population 10 zillion and six
Where signs say, \"Welcome to the Star Core Metropolis.\"
Me, I live on the wired side of town,
Reaching and searching for a space called paradise found.
Where there's no law
Tying my heart from the start.
Where there's no war, if my dreams run a little wild,
But if there's no call from joy control
Warning me against this disease in my heart.
Freein' my soul.

woooooo!!!! Janelle Monae is soooo fine and ginuwiiiiine. Im sorry. I dont mean to get ridiculous but its necessary. its like someone took Halley Berry & jada Pinkett' put them in a blender and gave them talent. She is outrageous. She just made it hard for us to care about anything or anybody else. I dont wanna hear that shit if J. Monae didnt do it now. Im like Charley Murphy when the dude said that shit aint "BOW"!!! Hit his ass right in the jaw. Dont say shit about J. Monae. She is it!!!

its hard to believe she's only 24, yet oozing with such talent, charisma and intelligence. Music talents like these only come once in a while, and I think we're witnessing the emergence of one right now.

@twinsouls No, Deep Cotton (Nate "Rocket" Wonder and Chuck Lightening), her producers. They produced all her albums so far.

This reminds me of times when new styles of music hit such as outkast, where you have to stop because her look is interesting and fresh, then you hear that lauren hill soul float out and spin a familiar story in a brand new way...talent!

The ArchAndroid is Suite 2 and 3 and it's absolutely brilliant.
I wonder if she'll re-release some of the songs from The Audition on Suite 4. I think that would make so much sense. Metropolis (this song) should deifnitely be on Suite 4. It seems to be part of the whole Metropolis story. I'm loving it!

It sounds like she based this on the 1927 German movie, "Metropolis". It was about a female cyborg who was not allowed to be free.
