Janelle Monáe

I decided it was time once more to post some music. So here is Janelle Monáe Robinson, known as Janelle Monáe. I think she’s pretty good, as you would expect from an android. You see, Janelle is an android from the year 2719 who happens to enjoy 21st century American R&B and soul music. You don’t have to take my word for her being an android, though. You can ask Janelle; she doesn’t deny it. Her android name is Cindi Mayweather. Janelle Monáe is actually Cindi Mayweather’s alter ego. She’s here in the 21st century because she’s hiding from the law back home. She broke the law by falling in love with a human named Anthony Greendown. But that’s another story.

This song, “TightRope”, is from her 2010 album The ArchAndroid. Note the dance moves – they’re a tipoff that you’re watching androids. Humans don’t move like that.
