Janelle Monet...Bad Boy REcords new artist



This is a underground artist supposedly who started off with Big Boi and then Puffy just signed her. They had a preview of one of her live shows on BET and the girl look WILD! Kinda has a New Wave, Crazy Prince style to her. excited

I cannot wait for her to come out.

Anyone know about her?

I freakin love her!!! check out the first suite of the album. Her album is gonna be released in 4 different suites or parts. each contains about 4-5 tracks. I honestly think she's gonna be the biggest thing in music before the year is out. She's got it all.

Too bad she picked working with Puffy. You know how he is with his artists. nod
I'm not a fan of "old Prince". I'm not a fan of "new Prince". I'm just a fan of Prince. Simple as that

i dont know, he said he's gonna let her do whatever she wants. He's letting her do the album as a 4 part series. Which i didn't think he'd so... well see.

She's talented but reminds me of a prince drag queen more than anything. Is she really original or is she just bringing back what's been done already?

She's pretty unique. Listening to her first album then her latest EP, she's consistent with changing her styles and look

Eh she's influnced by Prince by i'd say far from Prince wanna-be!! She's imo the most unique artist i've seen in awhile. Most artist dont release thier debut album as 4 part album. Or come up with unique charcters for her music, full with thier own planets. boyfriends and what nots. I suggest can on the train before it becomes a band waggon. You'll look cooler.

Who cares. At least she brings something to the table unlike many of the pop princesses of today.
