Janelle Monae - ArchAndroid Suites II & III
 Hello,
Well, finally got around to, through 'over-queued listenings', to the new sophomore effort from Janelle Monae's 'ArchAndroid: Suites II & III', and I must say....absolute STUNNER! Production is probably the best I have heard since fellow Atlantan Outkast's 'Idlewild', and much like the recent popularity of Hip Hop Collaborating with Indie acts, the collaboration with Of Montreal (Make The Bus) proves to be the biggest draw from this album but with equally great additions from Big Boi, Of Outkast (Tightrope), poet Saul Williams (Dance Or Die) & Deep Cotton (57821). 'ArchAndroid' really places Janelle on a much higher creative precipice than her indie debut 'The Audition', musically jumping light years from crunch soul to heavy metal to funk to even a little keystone dancing. She, like her fellow Atlanteans Outkast, whom have a pair of solo albums in the works for later this year, seem to and continue to redefine/reinforce/ soul music by fusing it with other genres of music in a much more respective manner than the others out there. Definitely pick up/listen to this debut, absolute marvel and a dead cert for a 'best debut of 2010'!
HIGHLIGHTS : Dance Or Die, Tightrope, Neon Valley Street, Make The Bus & Mushrooms And Roses.
Sincerely,
JamiroFan2000
