Janelle Monáe is back with a new single called Float.
First teased by the musician earlier in February on social media, the dreamy, brass-heavy groove features horns by Seun Kuti and his Afrobeat band, Egypt 80. It was produced by Nana Kwabena, Nate "Rocket" Wonder and Sensei Bueno.
It marks Monáe's first proper release since her 2018 album 'Dirty Computer'. The press statement described the song as follows:
"Muhammed Ali talking shit in Zaire, 1974, Jane’s evolution, Mary Poppins’ umbrella, Aladdin’s magic carpet, Ja Morant’s flotation to the rim while dunking on his ops, Sara Elise’s ropes, excerpts from Paramahmsa Nithyananda’s talks on levitation, Raul’s toast on Dec 1, and Bruce Lee’s mighty philosophy on being ‘shapeless, formless,’ and becoming one with your surroundings, to be like water."
