For DAYS I've been trying to find the words to describe this CD WITHOUT using the word "perfect" but I can't. Janelle Monae's debut CD "The ArchAndroid" is an R&B masterpiece. It has really gone there as far as experimenting with different sounds yet still staying true to R&B. Inspired by the 1927 movie "Metropolis" Janelle has made up a fictional character named "Cindy Mayweather" & the whole album is of her journey as she touches subjects like love, War & slavery all the while discovering she is a messiah-like figure in hopes to free her people. But enough of me chatting, listen to the songs I've posted from this masterpiece & see for yourself. You won't be disappointed!
"Cold War" Do you know what you're fighting for ?
"Say You'll Go"
"57821" The most BEAUTIFUL song ever! easily my favorite song on the record!
"Mushrooms & Roses"
"Locked Inside"
Impressed ? I know you are! Now go out & buy this musical masterpiece! It' one anyone who considers themselves a music lover should have!
