Janelle Monae is a true talent. She's, for lack of a better comparison, a female Andre 3000. She's different, she's kooky, and she's one of the most positive people I've ever had the privilege of following on Twitter. Her music has a message, and she's really working to carve a space for herself in the music world, as well as making a difference. Her song "Sincerely, Jane" is a perfect example:
"Are we really living or just walking dead now?
Or dreaming of a hope riding the wings of angels?
The way we live
The way we die
What a tragedy, I'm so terrified
Day dreamers please wake up, we can't sleep no more"
She really wants our generation to wake up and make a change, and I think it's a great message. She also does a beautiful cover of Nat King Cole's "Smile" that I listen to whenever I need cheering up or encouragement. So check this girl out, she's doing big things and making real music!

Also, she did a short film for her video for the song "Many Moons" which is an AMAZING song and a great video. See below.
P.S. Happy birthday to my Chuck Baby. He's the shit. :)
