Comprising the 4th & 5th suites of her audacious 7 part conceptual series, 'The Electric Lady' is another dazzling display of talent from Janelle Monae. While more focused than its predecessor, this album still genre hops between soul, r&b, funk, pop & hip-hop. Recalling Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson & Prince, the latter is even included as one of a number of value-adding guest vocal spots. There's a few too many ballads & it's over-long at 67 minutes, but Monae is as creative & versatile as ever here, with the attention to detail very high. Hell, even the skits are worth a listen! Recommended Tracks: Ghetto Woman, Electric Lady, Q.U.E.E.N. & Dorothy Dandridge Eyes.

yeah, her rapping is good. don't care for the last track much - she seemed to nail every style she attempted on ArchAndroid but doesn't pull off the reggae vibe for me.



the production is nice but most of the melodies are a lot weaker here than on some of her previous stuff.

agreed, the album begins to lose my interest near the very end, which is a shame because the very end of archandroid was absolutely superb.

It's actually pretty high on the contributor list from what I remember. In my opinion, it easily ties with her debut
