JANELLE MONAE : Tightrope

Janelle Monae’s music career has never quite taken off here in Australia, despite some rather fantastic past singles including ‘Many Moons’. But 2010 could change all that. Warner Music has serviced ‘Tightrope’ to Australian radio in the hope of finally giving Janelle some down under lovin’ (we realise that sounds dirty, but it’s not intentional).
And the clip to ‘Tightrope’ shows why there’s a heck of a buzz surrounding her and her forthcoming album ‘The Archandroid’.
She’s so damned cool, you could dip her in chocolate and call her ‘Magnum’.
Janelle is taking some time out at the ‘Palace Of The Dogs’, sporting a monster hairdo and a bow tie to match. And those foot movements? Well they’re something else altogether. ‘Tightrope’ is an infectious bundle of energy and impossible to resist.

 Australia's first stop for pop!
