Janelle Monae ARCHANDROID

Janelle Mon?e's first proper release for Bad Boy contains the second and third suites to her Metropolis, introduced in 2007 with an independently released EP (which Bad Boy reissued in 2008). The ArchAndroid is a natural extension of the retro-futuristic singer's earlier material, an energetic mix of soul and new wave led by "Tightrope," a single featuring OutKast's Big Boi, her earliest supporter.
