Janelle Monáe’s Electric Ladylove
Pint-sized dynamo Janelle Monáe’s androgynous style, refusal to label her sexuality and queer sensibility came brilliantly to a head on her latest opus, The Electric Lady: from the Paris Is Burning references in the Erykah Badu duet, “Q.U.E.E.N.” to her lady-loving Electric Lady persona in “Dance Apocalyptic” and the female fan who followed her “back to the lobby” in need of “some undercover love” in the Prince duet, “Givin’ Em What They Love.” This Electric Lady likes to get down and she’s not apologizing for it.
