Let Janelle Monáe get your weekend started with her 2010 Grammy-nominated single, "Tightrope." I was introduced to Monáe this week and I have a lot to say about her -- she's obsessed with Fritz Lang's Metropolis and she might be legitimately a little bit crazy, but she's a fantastic talent at 25 years old. I'm going to have to fill you in some other time (she was discovered by P. Diddy!) because this week is craziness, and it's ending, and then there's a three-day weekend! I'll serve up a special jam on Monday for MLK Day.
For now, enjoy Monáe's playful vocals and flowing choreography -- she dances with a self-assurance reminiscent of Michael Jackson -- on this modern throwback song featuring a full horn section and a James Brown-style caping. Now that's a show.
