22/Janelle Monae - The Archandroid
Track Two.
Dance or Die.
HER:
“I'm praying for the man sitting without much time/May he understand the clock will never rewind/Wisen him and sharpen him and give him a motto/Hate no more, said he must hate no more/You see the daylight comes into the kingdom/But the kingdom's full of ignorant men/Just keep rebelling away, you gotta dream it away/Because the weatherman on TV ain't creating the weather/This man wants to see another jubilation/And that man wants us in emancipation/And then there is the man who wants a stronger nation/You see we really got to and I think that we ought to/Protect the mind from degradation/Sow in the seeds of education/They run from us/Are we that dangerous?...”
Out of the races and onto the tracks she presents to you, Janelle Monae, The Archandroid. They don’t package em like this anymore, because it can’t be manufactured. Deep thinking music loving CRAFT at its finest. Wonderfully eclectic without skidding off the rails, this is a debut album from a grounded musician whose creativity and musicality, it appears, knows no bounds. “Another flavor, something like a Terminator”, Janelle wants us all to revel in the jubilation, and, like he mentioned above, stand in emancipation. With this collection of songs right here, she gets it, and we do too. Welcome to Metropolis. Listen and be captivated.
