Posted October 2, 200816 yr Janelle Monáe 'Many Moons' Metropolis Suite I of IV: The Chase Wondaland // Bad Boy Records Winter 2008 http://eastofla.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/400janelle-monae-many-moon.gif Janelle Monáe Synopsis Janelle Monáe is an alternative, soul, futuristic, and rock performer and singer. Originally from Kansas City, Kansas she was first featured on the Purple Ribbon All-Star's Compilation Got Purp? Volume 2 in 2005. Her song "Lettin' Go," from this album became a cult hit and a fan favorite. Her next major feature was on OutKast's movie soundtrack for Idlewild, where she is featured on the songs "Call The Law" and "In Your Dreams." She was also featured in the video for the single "Morris Brown," with Big Boi and Scar. She is currently signed to Bad Boy Records. The Wondaland Arts Society was founded by the Wolfmasters Nate "Rocket" Wonder, Chuck Lightning, and Delvin Franklin along with manager George "Rico" Rodriguez, Mitch Mitchowski, and Janelle Monáe herself. Other artists on The Wondaland Arts Society include the Afro-punk group Deep Cotton. Escaping from the underworld of her hometown, Monáe attended the American Musical Academy in New York City where she studied musical theatre and planned to pursue a career on the stages of Broadway. But feeling stifled by the lack of dynamic roles for black women on Broadway, Monáe decided to relocate to Atlanta, Georgia to pursue her dream of changing the world through her music. Monáe made her debut in Atlanta in the Fall of 2003. At the time, she was enrolled in Georgia Perimeter College and studied Science. She performed at various events in the Atlanta University Center. Her first solo project "The Audition" consisted of raw acoustic production from fellow AUC group BOF (Best of Friends) and from Nate "Rocket" Wonder and Chuck Lightning of Wondaland Productions. Many Moons Video LHgbzNHVg0c She's like a cross between Lady GaGa/Outkast with 1920 influences and all a bit soul. Actually brilliant :wub: She has an album out in 2009...
October 2, 200816 yr Oooooh!!! I love it! I just listened to her Sincerly, Jane song which is brilliant too :D
October 2, 200816 yr Many Moons has a wonderful video but as a song I'm really not seeing the appeal. It's not memorable...or if it is, it's a long and slow grower. Still, somebody clearly believes in her and has re-mortgaged their entire business to fund that video :heehee:

October 5, 200816 yr hmm...I like it a lot actually! the talking bit towards the end reminds me of a modern day Madonna's Vogue :lol:
November 5, 200816 yr Hmm I wonder if it'll do anything chart-wise, I like it but it seems a bit 'out there'.
November 23, 200816 yr Good song, I can see it taking off here providing she gets backing from the usual places ...
