Our artist of the month Janelle Monae performs “Dance or Die” live in Paris at La Maroquinerie. I know it’s early but you may have to get up and shake a leg on this one. Enjoy!
Big Boi and GFM’s Artist of the Month? You know we had to put the fam up on this one! Enjoy!
GFM is proud to feature one of the most exciting artists on the scene today as our Artist of the Month for May. In a musical landscape that often celebrates homogeny over individuality Janelle Monae is a streak of red in an often gray soundstage. This Kansas City Kansas native continues to win over audiences around the world through her futuristic genre-defying musical output. But don’t take my word for it just check out one of our favorite live performances of Janelle on none other than David Letterman.
Make sure to join us on our Facebook Page where we will celebrate the music of Janelle Monae all month with hopefully a few surprises thrown in for good measure.
Here’s a special treat from Janelle Monae with her performance at Canadian Music Week. More of a tribute than a ‘cover’ but you can feel the energy. Either way, we love Janelle!
Amazing video (mini-movie) from Cee-Lo featuring Kerry Washington, Janelle Monae, and Karl Lagerfeld. And if you missed his Grammy performance with Gwyneth Paltrow, hit the jump and enjoy!
So dope! Sometimes I guess you just gotta rock for yourself (check the audience response). Be sure to check her out on the 53rd annual Grammy Awards this weekend.
Janelle Monae – Live In Atlanta
RAHBI is the soul of Rock and Roll, a revolving energy that continues to produce Legends, Statements, Superstars & Icons. Musical Goddess Erykah Badu has dubbed RAHBI as “Pure Light” while Janelle Monae says his fearlessness inspires her. RAHBI’s new single “ROLLERCOASTER,” produced by Grammy award winning artist PJ Morton, encourages the world to live life on the fun side… A lovely prelude to his forthcoming studio album “GoldenChild.”
Future/Past, New/Familiar: “Rollercoaster” is an electronic musical cine-play that contains flourishes of Newcleus, Laid Back and Linn Drum era Prince coupled with a multi-layered vocal ensemble that is reminiscent of the “Wall of Sound” that doesn’t make its way into many of today’s production. If you would like to be transported on a ride that is equal parts aural and cerebral stimulation, press play. You can purchase the EP on iTunes here.
