Following a sold out show at Koko earlier this month, Janelle Monáe, the Kansas City born funk-stress, is releasing her new single 'Cold War' on 27 September, taken from her critically acclaimed debut album, 'The ArchAndroid'.
'The ArchAndroid' blends the talents of executive producers Nate Wonder, Chuck Lightning, Big Boi and Sean ‘P.Diddy’ Combs, with guests such as renowned poet Saul Williams, the psychedelic dance-punk troupe Of Montreal and punk prophets Deep Cotton featuring on the album. It’s the next chapter to the story of Cindi Mayweather, the heroine of Monáe’s Grammy-nominated EP 'Metropolis, Suite I: The Chase', which captured the imaginations of fans and fellow artists alike, initiating a host of media to tip her as one to watch.
For Janelle Monáe, however, the impetus remains - to create music to stir your soul and get your feet moving. “Musically, 'The ArchAndroid' is an epic James Bond film in outer space,” describes Monáe who has carved out her own path by following her instincts. “I want to be looked at as a leader and businesswoman”, she says. “I really feel that music and artists have a huge influence in the way we think. My goal is to help bring as many people as I possibly can together with my music”.
