Janelle Monae (born December 1, 1985) is an American singer, songwriter, dancer, and performer. She is currently signed to the Wonderland Arts Society and Bad Boy/Atlantic Records. Monae first introduced herself to the music scene with a conceptual EP, Metropolis: Suite I (The Chase), which gained her a Grammy nomination for her track "Many Moons".[1] The EP failed to make much of an impact commercially peaking at 115 in the United States.[2] In 2010 Monae released her first studio album, The ArchAndroid (Suites II and III), a concept album sequel to her first EP. It was released to general acclaim from critics and gained a Grammy nomination for Best Contemporary R&B Album; the song "Tightrope" was also nominated for "Best Urban/Alternative Performance". The album also made more of an impact commercially, peaking at number 17 on the US Billboard 200 chart.

In 2007, Monae released her first solo work, titled Metropolis. It was originally conceived as a concept album in four parts, or "suites", which were to be released through her website and mp3 download sites. After the release of the first part of the series, Metropolis: Suite I (The Chase) in mid-2007, these plans were altered following her signing with Sean "Diddy" Combs's label, Bad Boy Records, later in the year. The label gave an official and physical release to the first "suite" in August 2008, which was re-titled Metropolis: The Chase Suite (Special Edition) and included two new tracks. The EP was generally well-received by critics, garnering Monae a 2009 Grammy nomination in the Best Urban/Alternative Performance for her single "Many Moons",[6] festival appearances and opening slots for the indie pop band Of Montreal. Monae also toured as the opening act for band No Doubt on their summer 2009 tour.[7] Her single "Open Happiness" was featured in the 2009 season finale of American Idol.[8] Monae told MTV about her concept for her new album and also discussed her alter-ego named Cindi Mayweather, she said:

"Cindy is an android and I love speaking about the android because they are the new “other”. People are afraid of the other and I believe we’re going to live in a world with androids because of technology and the way it advances. The first album she was running because she had fallen in love with a human and she was being disassembled for that."

In a November 2009 interview, Monae revealed the title and concept behind her album, The ArchAndroid. The album was released on 18 May 2010. The second and third suites of Metropolis are combined into this full-length release, in which Monae's alter-ego, Cindi Mayweather—also the protagonist of Metropolis: The Chase Suite— becomes a messianic figure to the android community of Metropolis.[10] Monae noted that she plans to shoot a video for each song on The ArchAndroid and create both a movie and graphic novel based on the album.[11] The Metropolis concept series draws inspiration from a wide range of musical, cinematic and other sources, ranging from Alfred Hitchcock to Debussy to Philip K. Dick. However, the series puts Fritz Lang's 1927 silent film Metropolis, which Monae referred to as "the godfather of science-fiction movies," in special regard.[12][13] Aside from sharing a name, they also share visual styles (the cover for The ArchAndroid is inspired by the iconic poster for Metropolis), conceptual themes and political goals, using expressionistic future scenarios to examine and explode contemporary ideas of prejudice and class. Both also include a performing female android, though to very different effect. Where Metropolis android Maria is the evil, havoc-sowing double of the messianic figure to the city's strictly segregated working class, Monae's messianic android muse Cindi Mayweather represents an interpretation of androids as that segregated minority, which Monae describes as "... the Other. And I feel like all of us, whether in the majority or the minority, felt like the Other at some point."[12][14]

Monae received the Vanguard Award from the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers at the Rhythm & Soul Music Awards in 2010.[15] Monae covered Charlie Chaplin's Smile on Billboard.com in June 2010. In an NPR interview in September 2010, Monae stated that she is a believer in, and a proponent of time travel. Monae performed "Tightrope" during the second elimination episode of the 11th Season of Dancing with the Stars on September 28, 2010.[16] Monae performed at the 53rd Annual Grammy Awards in 2011 alongside artists Bruno Mars and B.o.B; Monae performed the synth section of B.o.B's song "Nothin' On You" and she then performed her track "Cold War" with B.o.B on the Guitar and Mars on the drums. Her performance received a standing ovation.[17]

Her single, "Tightrope" was featured on the American Idols LIVE! Tour 2011, perf

the purple lettering used in the ad is pretty much the color we saw and felt even though we had all that good sun power and golden warmth pouring through. this is a round, full perfume.

soft, fragrant, a touch of talcum. there are high notes. it lasts, but fades away. i'm not sure how long women expect perfume to last, so please weigh in. it has a spring feel, and it is suggestive in a subtle and non-threatening way.

the ad campaign that estee lauder ran for this scent is of gwenyth paltrow in a man's tuxedo shirt with the mantra "every woman wears it her own way"

our idea for the campaign was a normal woman sitting at a larger-than-life vanity with her back to the viewer and her reflected image much larger than it should be shining back a beautiful face radiant with joy and the vanity would be back lit by this beautiful golden sunset

the bottle NAILS the feel and style of this one to a T (minus cap design, which actually looks too functional, imo)
