04/04: Reports from Diddy's Introduction of Janelle Monae
HipHopDX and
Billboard have reports from Janelle Monae's performance at the Blender Theatre last night.
“I’ve been blessed with artists like Jodeci, Notorious B.I.G. and Mary J. Blige in the past, but this artist right here—you’ve just got to see it to believe it. I don’t know if you ever felt the Holy Ghost, but that’s the only feeling you’re to feel tonight,” Diddy said to a capacity crowd.
Monae -- decked out in her staple black slacks, white dress jacket with black lapel, oversized black bow tie and black and white wingtip shoes -- performed a five-song set that included the guitar-laden "Smile," "Letting Go" and "Violet Stars/Happy Hunting," which finds Monae singing, "I'm an alien from outer space / I'm a cyber girl without a face," over thumping drums.
They both mention that her September album title will be "Metropolis".
