this sounds like a whole lot of adoo about nothin... a bunch of mess, i think people like this garbage cause its just the next thing to listen to in music in the 2000's... sad to say music of today sucks unless its some underground neo soul...
@ikedirty318.....THIS IS NOT NEO-SOUL, THATS WHY I MADE MY COMMENT.... DONT EVEN PUT THIS IN THE SAME CATEGORY AS NEO SOUL... THIS MUSIC IS JUST A BUNCH OF NOISE AND NONSENSE................... I HAVE 100% RESPECT FOR THE NEO SOUL ARTIST OUT THERE, JILL SCOTT, ANTHONY HAMILTON, KEM, INDIA.ARIE... SO TO PUT THIS IN THE CATEGORY OF NEO SOUL IS JUST SO SO NOT RIGHT... BUT I SHOULDNT OF SAID YOU HAD A SMALL MIND... I APOLOGIZE FOR THAT.... HAVE A GOOD DAY
Who said I was saying this is neo soul first of all. I like this because it's original and different!! NeoSoul isnt different or original because it's taken something that already exist 20 to 30yrs ago. I own all of Marvin Gaye albums..Curtis Mayfield, Jimi Hendrix...Donny Hathaway and even James Brown..you have people doing something that's already been done and given it a new name and calling it there own. Neo Soul is nothing new. At least this lady dares to be different.
@HailTheOri Motown? This is something very different, electric or not. This music is something totally new and stands on it's own. It doesn't need a comparison to justify its existence.
@luvsexy3 i thought the same until i got the album......great singer....her slow tempo music is more your taste .Take a listen to all before you judge
yeah, i will admit.. all the theatrics of the video no way comes across like it would with her live shows. normally when u watch one of her live performances like "this one" we are comenting on... it draws u in.. but that video doesnt... its only at the end of the video when u start to feel a little of her energy when she is dancing arounds. but it is so diluted by all the other video effects and actors.

if you think these words are meaningless listen again........
"Civil rights, civil war" <-- refers to the turmoil that occured over basic civil rights
Hood rat, crack whore <-- some of the problems you'll find in large inner cities
Carefree, Nightclub
Closet drunk, bathub <-- if you're not careful and continue to live dangerously, and hiding being an alcoholic, you might end up in your bathtub dead.
Keep on listenin to those lyrics, every line has a hidden meaning to it.

P.S. It's my fav Janelle Monae song along side "Cindi" which is a song she performs in front of a big mirror with bubbles flying all over the room.
