Janelle Monáe: The Electric Lady
Holly Gleason, Paste, 10 September 2013
AN ENNIO MORRICONE sonic vista opens The Electric Lady, the sequel to Janelle Monáe's The ArchAndroid, making its ambition obvious. Overture burning off, a tugging groove rises and Monáe's neon howl proclaims,
"I am sharper than a razor
Eyes made of laser
Bolder than truth
They won't be locked up in the system
'Cause I am on a mission
Blame it on my youth…"
Total word count of piece: 443
