Janelle Monae - Sincerely Jane

[tiggeez]

just discovered this singer, she is so talented, quite a combo of old, new, motown, r&b and alternative....love her style

[frozen10]

Damn..Just...wow. I can't stop listening. Absolutely amazing on an unbelievable level.

[donni86]

I dont gt it...

5 7 8 2 1 ????? HUH

love this song, love her! crazy hair! lol

[HiMyNameIsFunky]

i love this song!! it sounds old but it's new and original at the same time.

[ThaPark732]

love her and she's hot

[massivefailure]

Damn she is wonderful.

[royalty333]

shes pretty and funky I like her style, so unique

[chowderpower11]

she is a great artist and half the reason why is because shes not like what we normally hear on the radio. people need to open up and listen to all types of music

[kjnyc2008]

Luv this!  Found out about her on a gossip website and had to check her out on youtube. She is fab!!!

[g6ka01]

i DIDN'T KNOW HER MUSIC BUT I LIKE THAT

[Dazzlyte]

I agree, Devon, I need to get her CD!!!

[DevonRiche]

Gotta' send this to my friend. She's been tryin to fuse multiple genres with her vocals for years. Jonelle is the BEST!

[missreddz]

she is sooo flyy.

[SweetCaramel7983]

love this talented girl, pity she wont be mainstream since society loves trash music. Hope she has a concert in my area.

[selvinor]

I agree with you. I hear so much music that is good and no one ever knows who these people are. Janelle, Gaelle, Goapele, Ledisi, Adriana Evans, Hil St. Soul, Joshua Radin, Amos Lee...I could go on but why bother :/

[missreddz]

I know exactly what you mean. I LOVE Amos Lee btw!

[bluemelons101]

Isn't diddy representing her? I bet he'll help her a long. I really hope she becomes mainstream! She's so talented and her music actually is good unlike all the crap on the radio.

[vmwye]

if she becomes mainstream her music will be the crap on the radio duh? REAL BLACK/SOUL music is never mainstream

[bluemelons101]

Um no you didn't understand what i meant... Whatever. I just hope she gets on the radio so more people will hear her and there will be good music on it. DUH!

[vmwye]

Do U know what U meant? DO U know what mainstream means? Maybe U should use vocabulary that U know before making a statement so ppl can understand what U mean.

Mainstream = white so if she retains her "soul" she can NEVER be mainstream BTW going mainstream is the problem w/ Hip hop as well

[bluemelons101]

Umm whatever ok? I like her music and thats all. So I don't care what you think "mainstream" is. I just want her on the radio so more people can hear her. OK? Sorrrrry if I offended you.

[adaront]

I understand what you are saying, but clearly your using a false definition. Because not only did Lauryn Hill go mainstream, she blue the fuck up. And she was definitely all soul.

Mainstream is not only whites anymore. Mainstream is everybody. Janelle Monae doesn't seem like only a soul singer. Her style of fashion and music seems to appeal to everyone. She has a Lauryn Hill effect mixed with a little Elvis and some Bjork.

[melogurl15]

mainstream does not equal white. I didnt even read the rest of what you said, you've already said enough.

[melogurl15]

Not true. Just because something is popular doesnt mean its not good and it doesnt mean its 'fake', whatever that means....people who are so antimainstream are annoying. Broaden your damn horizons.

Btw, shes signed to Bad Boy..shes basically mainsteam already.

[morganaire1]

Girl, you bad!

[CreativeMind3000]

The new Beyonce? More like the better Beyonce! Beyonce and most female singers are more into their looks then their music.

[g6ka01]

I agree

[bluemelons101]

true that :-)

[vegqueen120]

a song with such a cool fusion of genres,

AND really genuine lyrics?

wow.

such a cool groove in here, i always start dancing around to this.

[mchype08]

I expect some many great things from her, if she's this great now then i can only image what she has to offer for the future. Shes really deep, listen to her lyrics. He beats are badd as to.

[GAred1976]

I hope people are listening to the lyrics. she is speaking the truth about the people in our society.

[AaronsCrib]

Its like a jazz mixture of hip hop and R&B.very nice Janelle

[Ezkeel]

Janelle Monae is fyne!!!!!

[aliey4ever]

i love her voice need more ppl with soulful voices

[YOUNGSHANE18]

I love her so much!!!!!(Janelle Monae ) the new face of sound!!!!!

[DJBlend21]

lyrically, vocally...she's crazy! love her. she is sooooooo wat music needs now.

[RoyaltyindaBurgh]

she looks so good with her hair out of that bun thing in her forehead (not saying she dont look good with it)

her style is so different, i thinks thats why im so drawn to her and her music.

Diddy dumb ass is sittin on a gold mine with her!

[lianeclarke]

nah its not the same person.

[beselbic]

Wow, great song.

[missmotta2u]

am i the only one who thinks she sounds like A.Keys sometimes?

[Cluv22]

This is SOOO cool. SHE is the Future living the Present. I hope she stays in the game for a long time. I love her. It was like the more i read about her and listened to her and saw her, I was hooked on her. I can't wait to see or hear the Magic she can posses because that's what she is: Pure Magic. At 4:29, that pic's kinda sexy. I like it. I love her. Do yo thang baby.

[artstar19]

There aren't many new artists at all that I think have talent in the music industry of today. But I must say, what I see here is major potential. That is evident near the ending of the song. And coming from a person like me, who can be hard to please musically, that is a great compliment.

The only thing that worries me a little is her signing to Bad Boy.

[Cluv22]

I agree with u on everything said. She has a style all fer own. And as much as i hate to say it, i'm kinda worried about heard being signed to bad boy too. I shouldn't be but i am, you know?

[msjarule21]

I totally agree. Bad Boy tends to kill an artist career. It always starts off well in the beginning then they start changing their look,personality and style then its all down hill from there. Hopefully Diddy wont make the same mistake once again

[icelord098]

true just like he did to danity kane =/

[StryderRyuBmore]

Danity Kane? LMAO! That was typical fad talentless bullshit just like Day 26, and the rap group he tried to build before those 2. They sing about shit, and face away from the problems like the shit people go through. And all they do is sing about love and relationship problems, like thats all life is.

Janelle Is much more, she has range and she knows what the problems are and sings about them. I would hate to see her become watered down mainstream shit. Which I know she isnt.

[ArtsyFartsyPabi]

Lol, so true. Danity Kane made me gag

T.T

[jackieollie]

bullshit!!

[StryderRyuBmore]

Your bullshit, you're fucking sheeple. Just like everyone else.

[oyioyioi]

[IzzyBabee15]

Yes. Go Buy it!

[RemohONE]

the andre 3000 comparisons are getiing old , but i do think this chic is just brilliant.

[oldharve]

support her! her new album "metropolis" is only $5.99 on itunes (why i don't know because i would've paid 20 for it, it's great). she's a genius...i feel like andre 3000 and erykah badu and post fugees lauren hill(the miseducation album lauren) fused together and created this genius

[Meta4ce]

+ old kelis.

[illMillie]

long video!

[melogurl15]

Whew! glad you can count, girl.

[illMillie]

[MNLDillard]

[janiecel]

This is wonderful!

[kontamoo]

[phatrabbit126]

the whole metropolis robot thing reminds me of bjork's "all is full of love"

[4topz]

ya it does

[phatrabbit126]

i want the afro back

[richkidbobby]

i love this song

[dorcas51]

I did a search on her after seeing an article on her in Vogue magazine. I have been listening to this song all day - love it. It is classy reminds me or broadway plays.

[krunkster1990]

:D Funny you mention broadway! She actually attended a musical school (in New York I think) with plans of performing on Broadway.

She changed plans though b/c of the limited roles for African American women on broadway.

If you ask me this is SO much better!! This CD is even set up with a sort of story line--sort of like a play.

It was supposed to be 4 parts but she's now signed to a different label. =(

[sbgal13]

i was wondering why she dodnt come out with Suite Two yet....

[oc314665]

love it, i'd so rather be listening to this, then wack lyrics wit hot beats

[truepureblue]

Well maybe that's because this has both hot lyrics and a hot beat to it! plus she sings soo well!

but agree with you...I also love it!

[desi1987]

*Sighhhh* Im in love.She is beautiful,elegant,classic, and stylish..she reminds me of a modern day soul sista version of Audrey Hepbourne.

Her style is just so....[no words]

..."Are we really living, or just walking dead now"?

[Fusiondoom]

imo Janelle's 2008 Grace Jones

[thablackprince2]

her and lupe would make a crazy collabo

[EzraPlatnum]

Janelle and Gnarles...

but i can only dream...sigh

[itsCritique]

stfu && go to her myspace, she doesn't consider herself r&b.

[JeseRocchild]

one of my new favorite artists

[dakotaearls88]

Shockingly, she is one of the most original singers I have heard yet. Love it...she is goin' to definitely make it. Also, if u listen carefully to da words of her songz...she focus more on social, personal, and political awareness. Wut more can I say...she's a genuise.

[krunkmasterblack]

She is weird and cute looking.. Lol that Hair style kills me reminds me of a little chicken hawk.. She has talent..I like...

[JRock005]

Damn her outro's are tight. I like everything after 3:45. The many moons song had a good outro too.

[Falcon2011boo]

HER VOICE IS SO AMAZING! so authentic...it's great to have something new to the industry...Can't wait for her album.

[princessjamaica1]

i love the vibe the vibe that she gives off her energy os definitely there and her future in the music industry she be caution to other artists

[CapricousCapricorn1]

She is outta this world pretty.

[1inim]

this is so different i love it!and her lyrical msg is profound too, fresh talent and what an outstanding black beauty!

[Lboogiefan08]

I about to run and get this album..it's off the hook..i defin like this song..she's defin in a categ. of her own and i like that..i'm feelin her style!!

[rthomas986]

[naomi8992]

[PoeticSongstress]

I LOVE ME SOME JM!!! I listen to her album everyday I walk to class. I love how's she so different. She's like an "alien from outterspace...a cyber girl without a face, a heart or a mind!"

[ExFriend]

[ExFriend]

[certifiedstar15]

[ProSweatshopEvents]

Janelle Monáe LIVE at We the People Festival in Los angeles 9/27 ticket available at ticketmaster

[Bflatblues55]

Beautiful!

Crystal clear and crisp voice yet somehow mellow and soulful ... how the heck do you do that?

You have almost an Anita Baker look and sound ... really special. So happy RobertAntonNYC shared you with us.

[racheal1234]

this is an amazing track! i love it

[Desrae118]

Dis chick, I'm sorry, is SO GOOD. When I first heard about her I was like, OK weird! But you know what, open your mind and it's amazing! Who would have thought that someone could produce so much wonderful music! And as nixonbruhs said, "about time someone is actually putting out quality work"

[nixonbruhs]

She sounds like the woman who sings "Diamonds Are Forever"..... But this bytch is sick-o-ning. I love it.

Whew about time someone is actually putting out quality work....

[xoF4BULuSox]

i love it

[dachampishea]

this is music

[saesha702]

the strings in this song are amazing and the way she harmonizes with them is mind blowing :0

[ditzy14]

I LOVE THIS SONG

[pitochupon]

DAPTONES MUSIC IS GREAT

[chuntiris]

this sounds like the future

[dachampishea]

i sure hope the heck so... i am sick of music that is not music...

[SthrnCiara]

Omg and to think I slept on her because of negative I heard about her form other ppl I am so stickin to my thing of listenin to myself anf myself only this album is mine tomorrow morning just as sho as shit stank and circuit city open up they doors lol

[pitochupon]

wow finally the good music is coming back, since amy winehouse came out

[jmeckle1]

Thank the Daptones.

[pitochupon]

did you mean daptones record's studios , actually i looked up for daptones am i liked it, thanks for your information.

[jmeckle1]

The Daptones are the house band for the record label and were the backing band on Amy's last album. Mark Ronson is responsible for teaming the two. But I honestly prefer when they work with their main lead vocalist, Sharon Jones. She is the real deal. She's classy, sophisticated, energetic, and a lover! Not some cracked out cockney train wreck. Anyway, I'm glad you like it. Make sure to check out some of the afrobeat while you're searching.

[jmeckle1]

Pardon me, I had a brain fart. The Dap-kings are the band.

[pitochupon]

thanks for you information, i love music and i will be sure searching for afrobeat.

[BabyG18]

I LOOVE HER STYLE. so talented DIDDY DONT FUCK IT UP

[belleandchic]

omg!! i hope mr diddy fiddling with everybodys career dnt mess up ms. johnae's cause this is fresh beautiful talent right here..i adore everything bout this chikk

[ladyunique09]

Shes amazing, I hope she keeps this up and her name gets out more because I would hate it if she did'nt make it big!

[soogolden7]

she can sang!

[blueshrania]

Does somebody know the lyrics of this song?

[Saranghaeyo17]

Left the city, my momma she said don't come back home

These kids round' killin each other, they lost they minds, they gone

They quittin' school, making babies and can barely read

Some gone off to their fall, lord have mercy on them

One, two, three, four, your cousins is round' here sellin' dope

While they're daddies, your uncle is walking round' strung out

Babies with babies, and their tears keep burning, while their dreams go down the drain now

[dafilmdirector]

THANK YOU
