Is the Janelle Monáe album any good? (2 Viewers)

[Lili Marlene]

well? DAMMIT, answer me

I have no idea, but I read about it on sweetoblivion's blog and she gives it the deux-thumb-up.

If I could get the double-endorsement from I Is John, well that would make me buy it, so let me know John, ok?

 

[Denny Oubidoux]

no idea, sorry

yeah alright. I'll go get it so.

I know it involves Atlanta so that means Cameo+Outkast so it's good
but it's also on P Diddy's label so that's bad.


humm

no idea, sorry

ok then.

 

[Denny Oubidoux]

i will listen later and let you know

I just looked at Sweetoblivion's blog and it's totally wrong cos her central thesis seems to lie on the facts that Lady GaGa is attractive (which she isn't) and Janelle Monáe is in some way not totally hot (obviously she is).

bah!

If she still posted here I might have been able to get an argument out of this. Where's my Beth Ditto thread anyway?

 

[rettucs]

looks just like a young Grace Jones.

I like how you got the fada in the subject there I is John. Very proper. Good on ya.

Seriously I is John, this obsession with me has got to stop, I'm getting worried!

I haven't heard the album yet, I don't think it's out in Europe yet - it's out in the US though. I've heard a few tracks off it and some are brilliant, some - like the of Montreal one - are OK. But I have high hopes!

My blog piece is about her image and how it relates to female popstars. (I've been gone, but I haven't changed much, eh?)

 

[Lili Marlene]

humm, i'm on my second listen to it now and it's not brilliant.

I mean, the songs are generally very good, great even, but it may as well be the new beyonce cd, it more or less sounds like another producer record (and there are a LOT of producers on this thing). Long story short, she does not sound like she's in control of the music. A Lady GaGa song would be a million times more distinctive. Also 18 tracks FFS.


I'd love to hear an album by the band in the below video but they appear to just be a well choreographed act

oh, hi

Her image seems to reference the nation of islam.

The suits, ties and shades may represent a sombre, back to basics approach, but it's still a cookie cutter by any other name.



Are you a Tory, Aoife?
