Janelle Monae's The ArchAndroid is in stores now and more importantly on itunes as we speak. Honestly, pre tightrope Janelle Monae wasn't even on my radar... I know, I know blame it on the radio. I just happened to have the TV on Vh1 Soul while I was cleaning my place and heard something funky, new, fresh, and super catchy. I ran to the TV and was captivated by the James Brown-esq funky footwork of some super cute brown skinned girl with a cool natural hairdo. The song stayed embedded in my brain and I had to find out who was this Janelle Monae. Let me just say her style is so different and unique it's a breathe of fresh air between the Drake, Nicki Minaj, and Trey Songz takeover that's attacking my eardrums with every turn I take.
Tip Tip Tip on the tightrope!
Her signature hairstyle, a french roll combined with a Pompadour on top fits her style just right! I love it! I'm positive I couldn't rock this style, but I must say it's unique and cute!
