Wow! I looooove this song! Janelle is officially my close second favorite female artist today. I knew she would come back with something slamming after The Archandroid. AMAZING!

this promises good things to come, can't wait for the album now

Gr8 combination!!!

All this song needs is a strong funky bass line to make it soar like Prince's Traffic Jam.

Holy shit. This is my favorite song by Janelle yet! And that's saying something, because I absolutely love all her other stuff. I also love how it ends -- it leaves you thinking.

Video teaser.

Official video! JANELLE MONAE IS BACK!!!

I love this video and Janelle looks gorgeous. How can anybody not love her, she is perfection!

Shes soo hot shes my girl crush

Now this is a perfect example of female empowerment. She killed her rap verse at the end!

This girl needs to blow up she is crazy talented and got that good music!

Go get em Janelle!

Nobody out now is doing what this woman does. She is like the only one that tries to be original and creative. Shes interesting and different... She is way more interesting and talented than all the other female artists now I am still baffled that she has not blown up yet. Okay I will stop stanning now

Oh my damn..that was funky! You know before know I never knew who was singing what on this song. Can't wait for dinner.

^THIS x 1000. ITA with everything you said. I'm fangirling over Janelle too Cant stop watching this video-the most brilliant music video out there today! I love that she dares to be original, creative and unique and doesnt let the music label and industry try to make her into some manufactured artist-their ideal of what an artist should be. Go head Janelle!

Ive watched the video at least 6 times now

She is really inspirational. Young girls/women really should be looking up to her because she is a good role model. She shows that you dont have to feed into stereotypes, norms and labels. She teaches us to be who we are, to love who we are and to embrace how uniqueness. She is not about stripping butt naked and selling her body to be somebody in order to get attention and fame. Shes like no... "Im beautiful with my natural puff, tux, and swade shoes and Im not going to follow the norm take it or leave it". I love everything about her and what she stands for. Who ever marrys her is a lucky man.

Right! Michelle Obama should publicly endorse Janelle as a good role model

Instead of that other singer.


awesome: Janelle is absolutely electric, combined with ERykah's loud heavy Bass presence!!

I LUUUUUUUUUUUUUV them, Bravo

Rlea

I LOVE the video, the concept is amazing with its 60s styling. They both look stunning and Janelles rap verse at the end was awesome! It's time for Bad Boy records to promote Janelle because she should be much more known than she is. Love this girl. It's great she keeps doing her thing and I love her creativity. She gives me hope that mainstream music still can produce good stuff. Erykah was amazing like always

Preach!

Great new stuff. Her last album was my favorite album for the last 15 years or so.... based on this song i will not be dissapointed for the next...!

indeed Michelle Obama endorses Janelle too..they invited her at the White House in different occasions..and Michelle said she has Tightrope on her workout playlist....

Speaking about the video and song can't wait for The Electric lady's era...Janelle is the whole package she's creative,she writes songs, sings, raps, dances, and she also said she will play some instruments on the next project...Erykah is a great artist as well...

She does the Minneapolis sound as well as her idol.

Am I the only one who thinks the song is wack?

She's taken two steps back and this will not help her commercially.

No artistic growth since her last album it seems.

After the second viewing, I kinda dig it. I like the booty don't lie little breakdown. Love her last verse.. oh and Erykah she is just awesome!!

No you are not. I don't "get" it and don't like it at all.

Shit izz BANGIN'! Wonder if Ms. Badu has anything new on the horizon in the form of an album?

this album I think it will be more funky based upon the songs we have heard until now( she changes style in every album if you are a true Janelle's fan you know this)...this song imo is a really good track it gets better every time I listen to it...I'm sure the album will be really good...and the music of the rap part with the violins is very archandroidish

The song is growing on me now, but I'm a little disappointed. I don't know what I was expecting though if I'm honest.

Looking forward to the album, and I hope she tours around these parts again.

She changes style in every album? What albums are these? She has only made two albums that we have heard, one of which is not commercially available.

Metropolis is an EP, The Archandroid is the only available JM album.
