09 Nov LIVE REVIEW: Janelle Monae @ Cargo, London
I can't for the life of me remember how I first came across Janelle Monae. She appeared on several Outkast affiliated projects in '05 but I don't think I paid much attention to them - it was her EP that caught my ear a few years ago. Metropolis Suite I of IV: The Chase was a strong but short set of seven fusions of rock, pop, soul and funk, quietly introducing this flawless voice, unique songwriter and theatrical performer to the world.
