Looking Forward to More 'Metropolis'

Last week I finally saw Janelle Monáe perform live in concert. I'd been waiting close to 2 years for her to headline a gig around my area. I was very excited when I found out that she was going on tour to promote her upcoming album, The ArchAndroid, and happy that I was able to snag tickets to one of her New York City shows, all 3 of which sold out. She is such a fantastic and entertaining performer! I wish I had gone to more than one show. Below is one of the photos I took at the concert.



I'll eventually post more photos, but for now I want to share a couple of videos. The following is the video for her latest single, "Tightrope."



The ArchAndroid and Metropolis: The Chase Suite released in 2008 are part of a concept revolving around an android character named Cindi Mayweather. At the concert I heard some of the songs from the upcoming album, and I'm looking forward to listening to the whole thing when it's released next month, even more so after I saw this video on Janelle Monáe's website the other day:



My reaction when I watched it was:

OMG! What the...

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So AWESOME! XD

Amazing. I can't wait. :)
