Janelle Monáe is an amazing singer, dancer, and performer. Her new song, “Tightrope” is a showcase of her talents as well as of the awesome moves her dancers have up their sleeves. She also gives really exciting and memorable live performances, creating a whole world and persona in her albums and shows.
One of the Youtube comments on her video for “Tightrope” which I think describes it well says, “She’s not bringing something new, but something old. She’s reminding us why wool is superior to polyester,” (user: kitchenlattice). As I see it, she’s bringing us a new, rejuvenated version of something old and it’s beautiful, pure talent.
