Janelle Monae recently released the film that goes with her new album “Dirty Computer.” The movie, which is aptly described as an “emotion picture,” tells the tale of what happens when androids are considered “unclean” if they have freeness of thought and original notions. The film features cuts from her album amid a dystopian imagery and themes.
Monae’s unique brand of afrofuturism, R&B and pop interwoven with social commentary puts her on the vanguard not only in music, but in entertainment as a whole. Now she’s ready to take on the world.
She has seen success on a large scale this time around, with her third full album about to pop. Her new single “I Like That,” has received critical acclaim, especially for its Prince influence.

The Atlanta-based singer also announced a North American tour in support of her album. See the deets here.
