06/08: Janelle Monáe's Next Album to Feature Prince and Miguel (Billboard Cover Story)
Janelle Monáe covers the June 15 issue of Billboard magazine. The
cover story serves as a preview to her upcoming album, "The Electric Lady," due in September.
The album, which was co-produced with frequent Monáe collaborators Deep Cotton and Roman GianArthur, will feature contributions from Prince and Miguel.
"I had a chance to produce an icon," Monáe told
Billboard about her song with Prince. "It's not every day that he collaborates. I'm honored and humbled that he trusted me. He is forever my friend, and I am forever indebted. I can't say too much else about it."
Thought she declined to give the name of the song, the article does list a few song titles, including "Dorothy Dandridge Eyes" (which Billboard lists as a jazz-influenced track), "Dance Apocalyptic" (pop-punk), "Victory" (gospel) and "Primetime" ("woozy, sensual vocal ballads," writes the cover story's author).
"Primetime" is the song that will feature Miguel and it includes an interpolation of the Pixes' "Where Is My Mind?" Check out the Billboard cover below.
