"The ArchAndroid" Trailer - (Available NOW!)

[metacrisis47]

For a second there, I thought it was gonna read "Harry Potter and the ArchAndroid"

[ariel12955]

Best album of the year.

[jsl151850b]

Why do you forbid iPad viewing?

[justas1]

no one should ever be sad about someone being "underrated." if she had a lot of views and was on everyone's ipod then she'd just be "a sell out"...

[LuvliBrunomars]

OMG!!!! MY BIRTHDAY IS MAY 18!!!!! SO COOL!!!!

[andremp03]

I first heard about Janelle from watching Glastonbury, what a talent!!

[mrbojangles487]

Transformativemusic for sure. I got that as soon as I seen the album cover and listened to a couple tracks. This girl's working with a whole different set of rules. Enlighten us, Janelle.

[yungmelly]

I just downloaded this album today...I dont understand why shes so underrated...I love her music.

[SnivelyTheGlamful]

What song is it that has the guy singing something about one at about 1:26? I like that song for some reason. Awesome trailer.

[CSKalviin]

ArchAndroid is the single greatest album ever!

[megautubers]

@jonaahthan So true! I think Janelle Monae and the talented guys she works with are Awesome and will just keep getting better and better.

[SuchAnAngel6]

I LOVE JANELLE She Needs More Exposure! I Also Love How She Related Herself To Robots...

[eddiemarriott]

Yeah, you see! This is musical talent. Did Justin Bieber go to these lengths when he realised his album!? 

[jsl151850b]

Nice hat!

[ImFromAMS]

i want this to be a real movie released in theatres then later put on DVD & Blu-Ray!! because if this was like a musical with all her music on it telling the story of the ArchAndroid i would DIE! :DDD

[psapper881125]

incredible album, incredible work!!!

[z28camaro79]

Amazing. We will never see this again in our lifetime. One of the Greatest Albums Ever Made. The ArchAndroid.

[BruceAlmightyMuzic]

Although the condition of Auditionism happened to me at a time when a number of other artists, including commercial artists known for the Hip-Pop, and R rated B, are also exploring music, the Wondalandists develop new techniques that are specific to the thrival movement. Encompassing what its adherents argued was a different way of sounding, it is an art of immediacy and movement, of candid poses & compositions, of the classic style expressed in a bright & varied use of black & white.

[BruceAlmightyMuzic]

Previously, LP's and CD's as well as Mp3's had usually been created indoors. The Wondalandists seem to find that they can capture the momentary and transient effects of limelight by being fearless & free. Creating realistic scenes of extraterrestrial life, they portray overall musical & visual effects instead of details. They use short "android" dance moves of mixed and pure unmixed motion, smoothly blended or shaded, as is customary, in order to achieve the effect of intense building vibration.

[BruceAlmightyMuzic]

The emergence of ArchAndroid in the visual arts will soon be followed by analogous tightroping in otitis media which became known as Wondal-ish music and Wondalish Theater. Thrivals of our time, pioneering Wondalandists brake the rules of academic music. Their formal wear, freely worn ebony & ivory, while drawing inspiration from the work of artists such as James Brown, Judy Garland, Jimi Hendrix. They also take the act of music out of the studio, into the modern world & back to the future.

[BruceAlmightyMuzic]

Characteristics of Auditionism include relatively small, brave, yet visible fearlessness, open composition, emphasis on the accurate depiction of freedom in its changing qualities (often accentuating the effects of the passage of time), extraordinary subject matter, the inclusion of tightroping as a crucial element of human perception and experience, and unusual visual angles.

[BruceAlmightyMuzic]

Janelle Monae is the most consistent and prolific practitioner of the thrival movement's philosophy of expressing one's perceptions before nature, especially as applied in Metropolis. I would like to coin the term Auditionism which I derived from describing the effects of her first demonstration. Auditionism can begin as a loose association of other planetary based artists whose independent exhibitions bring them to prominence in the coming decades.

[taquitotexano09]

OMYGOSH!! She is now my favorite artist! This trailer is EPIC! Why is this not a movie/play/shortfilm????

[jonaahthan]

as of right now im writing an essay on my favorite place... and that place is Metropolis.. x)

[Berryberrynice]

Im am so sorry to swear but her album is fucking excellent. I have actually no interest in listening to anything else and will get suite ! asap.

Her contemporaries should take serious note as to how things are done because in 20 years time this will still be relevant. Instantly classic music. Thank you JM for showing music as an artform is not totally dead!

I am waiting with baited breath for the videos and 4th suite.

Everyone who cares about this artist buy a copy of her album NOW!!

[yardloo3]

Amazing!! I am in love with this womens vision!! I mean wow! work hard and this is your reward. I support her. She is the new age Dorthy from the wizard of oz......

[rayviebabiie23]

I HATE SEEING THESE VERY LITTLE VIEWS ! YOU'RE WORTH EVERY VIEWER ON YOUTUBE !

[FreshMaverick]

woooooooow i did not expect to see that at the end

[erismo23]

The video would be a lot more interesting if there wasn't a massive *SPOILER* pic just to the left of it. W

[FallMacedo]

Esse é o elhor vídeo promocional que eu já vi!!! JAnelle beira a perfeição!

[kjrm6796]

Love this promo video!!! Reminds me of the 1980 Dino De Laurentiis remake of Flash Gordon!

[kenjiijnek]

I love you Janelle!!! From Brazil!!

[babykay31]

I LOVE THS/.... OMG.... OMG... DIS MAKE MY MIND THINK ABOUT FUTURE THINGS

[cmoncmon100]

Im a Gaga fan and a Janelle Monae fan. People shouldnt compare them. There totally different artists but both great in their own ways. 

[coldplay4321]

Many popular top40 artists called conTEMPORARY for a reason, becasue their thier music is for today, but Janelle's music is TIMELESS, I'll be listening to her still in 2045

[Poopche]

I love Jaenelle Monae & this video is good makes me wanna watch a movie they should make on of her songs I think that'll be cool but no crappy endings cause most of the movies todays have stupid endings

[BoondocksS32010]

@Poopche YEAH BUT HOW WOOD THE MOVIE END WILL SHE LIVE WITH HER LOVER SIR GREENDWON OR WILL SHE BE DESTROYED?

[Poopche]

@BoondocksS32010 hmmmm I'll say she would live with her love & they would run away together that'll be good I don't like sad ending :)

[And8But]

The reason she can't be more popular is because she's not 'stupid' enough. Compare the lyrical things in Janelle Monae to any other mainstream, female artist today. JM is leagues ahead of the pack, and therefore, will be shunned. I LOVE YOU JM.

[NitekMuscle]

I can't stop listening to ArchAndroid!

[DionisiaDP]

To lobolover...Totally agree. This woman has more talent than the typical top 40 artists, and the masses don't get it. I hope she doesn't sell out. Lady Gaga has her talent as well, and yet, she had to go to the extremes to sell herself. Janelle is a great crossover musician/performer, a "one of a kind" and it's up to her fans to spread the word about her. I have, and my friends all love her. Then again, we're all musicians who appreciate her talent.  God bless you, Janelle!

[aandroidd]

i lol'd.

[unholyedsoul]

yeah beat Lady Gaga's ass!

[eguy1120011]

Reminds me of an off-the-wall for today, has things from today's music, like off-the-wall did when it came out. I think she has the talent to take to a thriller level but I don't think it's there at the moment as a whole. Some part, like her music video, far out do today's big stars like lady gaga. But Overall, I think Monae is great.

[jeffkatt]

This CD in my humble opinion is the greatest thing since THRILLER!!!!!!! MJ would be proud. Prince already is!

[dayviddisney]

@jeffkatt i truly agree she has that michael jackson sound in her music i hope she becomes as big oneday :)

[lobolover09]

@Ayzahar i was referring to the way his campaign went not is presidency...and its hard to make change when everything you try to do gets shut down

[pyroblast3000]

omg im getting this album!!!!

[carlswitzerfan]

YeOW!! That's AMAZING!!!

[rdjones02]

[youngsir199]

I Just Bought This Album On ITunes ,.

[TheKjLove]

Her album is the best I've heard so far this year! Janelle has a VISION and the voice to back it all up...f'ing groundbreaking music sista.

[mikenike504]

I am amazed that Monae co-wrote this overture. So epic and squashes the so-called talent of many other artists. It is so gorgeous!

[bradioactive]

i think i just fell in love with a woman. OMG!

[ferre77]

I can't wait until she drops her graphic novel for the whole Cindy Mayweather story!!!!!!!!

[zosma905]

[missmdavis08]

This album just like Metropolis are PURE genius

[acswifey]

I LOVE THE WHOLE ALBUM!!!!

[WickedWays9]

Janelle is so amazing! I cried when I saw her live. I was that moved by her music. And believe me that has never happened before with any other artist haha. Her new CD is a piece of ART!

[StrictlyBizo]

If you do not go out and support this Album ....... then you are absolutely out of your mind. This Album is the TRUTH!

If you enjoy Outkast or Gnarls Barkley or anything similar or along those lines then this album is COMPLETELY FOR YOU!

[playthattracktv]

*Standing OVATION!*

AMAZING!

[Neeka693]

Im seriously in tears...this is too much for me..it's so amazinq...the album is crazy frm start to finish.

[fabbgroup]

Amazing intro movie feel the orchestra is epic

[sublimityeternal]

i think this represents the shutdown of the crown chakra.

[MsDivineGoddess]

@sublimityeternal Why would anyone want to shutdown their crown chakra? If anything this shows that her crown chakra is activated. *kanyeshrug*

[bballervirgo1]

Wow! Sweet! Awesome! I'm gettin it!

[tnargtnarud]

I love the composition with the orchaestra. Really does, and will feel, EPIC.

[arod1122]

People nowadays don't appreciate an artist like this and it's sad. So so sad...

[MrKharyzma]

Totally AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Deewy2]

Beyond!

[mclewis8881]

man! thight and ORIGINAL!! i was like "look at this little fake ass city going in circles!" but just as I said that HER FACE APPEARED IN THE LIGHT!! OMG! cant WAIT to get this Cd...if you never seen her live you SUCK! SHE IS THE TRUTH!!!!! THE FREAKING TRUTH MY FRIENDS!! AHHHHH! super stoked! AND the band is the SHYT as well!! WHEW!!! i almost feel brainwashed...gotta make sure she dont have any subliminal messages in her shyt! NEVER FELT THIS STRONG ABOUT AN ARTIST!!! KINDA SCARY!

[ladyheiress]

@mclewis8881 she actually does. she rolls with the illuminati too boo

[jetdev5]

She's BAD -PERIOD!

[ForScience13]

A talented musical artist + a funky and interesting artistic idea (with what appears to be a sci-fi twist) = Something I am completely and 100% down for :)

[OnlyShapes]

This bitch sucks, Justin Bierber is 10 times better.

[Ufourwithme]

@OnlyShapes not true! so false! if you really think that hes better you have no taste in music! she actually has rhythm and a good voice and style! he lacks all of that! he has as much talent than she does in one of her fingertips! so she is more than 10x better!

[tnargtnarud]

@Ufourwithme I think he is being sarcastic, I hope. lol

[Ufourwithme]

@tnargtnarud yes i agree hopefully! :)

[ndiouma88]

@OnlyShapes Hi ! I just wanted to know if u came from from another planet . Bye !

[SeeDGraduate]

Janelle Monae, please release a musical based on your CDs! Animated or live, I'll buy it!

[danzelled1]

@SeeDGraduate

OMG I SECOND THAT!

[Afrikkaa]

Her Creativity almost makes me tear up its ridiculous

[zachdahater]

@Afrikkaa Same hear.

[TataniaStarstrider]

Way better vocalist than Rihanna/Kesha - no comparison really. That she's not as big says everything about the state of the music biz right now.

[19832006]

That is amazing im speechless!

[mengga]

LOVE THIS!!! I swear I am IN LOVE with the music from 1:27!!!!

[lobolover09]

only problem i have is that rihanna can get 45 million for her video, justin beiber can get 100 million for his, but janelle can't even get 1 million...i think we need to start an obama-like revolution and promote change lol

[MissLyrikal]

@lobolover09

Agreed ! When do we start? :)

[Ayzahar]

@lobolover09 considering that this "obama-revolution" has been one massive failure, I would use diffirent words than that. I haven't seen much change...have you?

[amaka38]

@lobolover09 it angers me to kids these days are so brainwash by sex that they dont care about real music ...its like if the artist is not grinding on the floor or spread eagle ,half naked bending over then the music its not worth listening to i was one of those kids till i started listing to janelle shes very unique and soo creative and very talented and she does not trying to be in the same cookie cutter as some of these artist just to make a hit u can tell she really cares about music

[BoondocksS32010]

@amaka38 SO RITE MAN MY GENERATION OF TEENS AND I THEY NEED TO HEAR HER MUSIC ON DA REAL N STOP WITH ALL THIS DUMB STUFF N HEAR HER ON DA REAL

[JaysonX5]

@amaka38 " i was one of those kids" well parents don't culture their kids like they used to. I grew up on "good music" and I do prefer songs with story telling, positive messages and or good composition(seriously hate auto tune). But hopefully, like you, others will decide to or be exposed to something soul gratifying like the music Janelle does.

[yardloo3]

@lobolover09 I agree! I say we start something special im down if you are? How should we beings of higher intelligence do something like this. Subscribe to my page and lets discuss...

[mklion08]

JAmes Brown....Janell Monae

[btc23cp3]

i can't wait for the album i hope that see does well she deserve it , finally sum real music and i love the way she mix the old with tha new.

[Booshibonton]

should be awesome

[superhetoric]

i'm so glad my girl is becoming more well known! she's a genius!

[wetter1]

wow

[shany9988]

this one of the best ads I've seen for an album!! Amazing.

I was so caught up in it too, just waiting to see what was next lol

[lifeformlifeform]

very nice.... come clean my apartment

[sexythang902]

so..the city was just sitting on top of her head??

[Lemmising4u]

This is going to be amazing.

[blkcoverboy]

this was epic..kinna like michael jackson and how he did that commercial for the "history" cd..very good!

[Bonksmusic]

Im obsessed with janelle i remember last year it was a rumor that this album was going to be released in January, when i saw it gonna be released may. OMG I skip pass her songs on my ipod lol cuz my anticipation shoots through the roof

[lucyisabanana]

i need that hat

[agreatguy6]

ohmahgeebegeez, i'm excited.

[BlueEagle62O]

ryan from ign brought me here

[stephonandhiskeys]

COOL!!!! She'll be big if diddy stop sleepin on her talent. She need to be bigger than Gaga right now!

[mahleek20]

@stephonandhiskeys WAAAAAAAYYYY BIGGER!!!!!

[HARRYMARIA]

@stephonandhiskeys,

Diddy has been promoting her. Don't you see the ads on Youtube and her appearances on TV. Just buy the album and tell your friends if your really want her to go big.

[blackpoker]

@stephonandhiskeys according to her and diddy, he gave her ultimate freedom and basically paid for everything and let her run wild with her creation. Her album is the best of 2010 in my opinion and the only way she can get her name out there even more is if we the fans introduce her to new ears.

[me4uk]

105 thumbs up for this video

and no thumbs down

flawless victory Janelle! :)

[Britainn]

Yes Janelle!!!! I am so excited you are the best person ever!

[linababe01]

oh snap!. yo i want this to be a movie sooo bad!

and i knew the building looked small and kinda fake but for it to be on her head, like, part of HER. i wasnt expecting that. im hype! lol

[flygirlzandcompany]

Shockingly Brilliant. She will be legendary.

[deondre16]

such a haunting yet beautiful and inticing melody.

that's part of what i love about her music

cant wait for this album

[jcsuangel]

Love it! Love it! Love it!

[Ufourwithme]

this is so exciting! this may just be a landmark in our american time!!!

[mrkyleaguillera]

movie type status wow!

[KharamelSueno]

lol...almost thought the building was animated...the smoke is rising too fast for it to be a building....now it being what it turned out to be was a surprise....intriguing :D!

[arizonamonroe]

wow thats super dope

[Guy17]

This is some serious art. :tu

[lobolover09]

She's like a new era Michael Jackson in that she views her videos as so much more than just a video. She's trying to tell a story and I love that about her. Not to mention the instrumental is sick! Thank God for REAL music!!!

[CAAJDJ]

O MY GOD the instrumentals in this video and her concert intro are just sooo incredibly and melodically daunting!!! *It takes me to a euphoric place*

[geniusweenus]

this is just what 2k10 needed!!! already pre ordered my CD.

[hillcity]

holy effing EFF!!!!!!!!!

please let this masterful command of setup, suspense and payoff be an accurate appetizer for the album.

[mdmiles2009]

wow, advertisment GET IT!!!! lol ;)

[Eri567]

Ahhhh Janelle! Can't Wait for this Album!!!

[lunatique561]

I can't remember when was the last time I was excited about music.

She's doing something really amazing/different here. This is bigger than music.

[crownjdk]

yeh..dat was big.

[cocolahtay]

oh MY!

[vford43]

This is my girl!

[madetoprazehim]

The world won't know what to do with themselves when this movement become global!!

[R00TZSP]

Shes an artistic goddess

[adiosmotherfker]

This is a horrible reminder that I cannott have what I want, when I want it! The intense desire I have for this brings me pain.

[simplynay232]

I feel like a this a Disney Theme Park Opening, so hyped!

[hiphapa4]

Can't wait for this!

[heidihasthefloor]

Just another dehumanization stunt. Wonderful.
