One of the first artists/posts ever to occur on this site praised the efforts put forth by one, Janelle Monáe.


Since that time, she's made friends with Bad Boy, had appearances on MTV, and tore up the Afropunk Festival in Brooklyn. (Coincidence? I kid.) Her new song, Many Moons, follows in the grandiose tradition of the futuristic rock we've been accustomed to hearing from her. It's her first official single, and it touches on the grimier side of Metropolis, which is both the central theme and title of her debut album.

Janelle Monáe's EP will be released on August 12, 2008.
