I remember being floored by some of Janelle's songs on The ArchAndroid. This manifestation of Janelle as an artist seems much less interesting and thought provoking to me. Great review.

kinda resent the idea that the neo-soul around was "plaguing the airwaves" when janelle popped onto the scene tbh! i know she captured a couple bolts of lightning in a bottle but there was tons of amazing r&b and neo-soul being released in 2007 when she dropped metropolis..

Alright so whether you meant ‘07 Metropolis EP or ‘10 beginning of Metropolis LP suite, here we go…

Amy Winehouse, Meshell Ndegeocello, Cassie all had important releases in 2006/07

heavy hitters/unique and pivotal r&b albums all released before anyone really knew janelle monae’s name:

Gnarls Barkley released St. Elsewhere in 2006

Justin Timberlake released Future Sex/Love Sounds in 2006

Nelly Furtado’s “Loose” was released in 2006

Kanye West’s MBDTF, Sade’s Soldier of Love, and Erykah Badu’s New Amerykah pt 2 were all released the same year as ArchAndroid

And all of these albums were released two years before Electric Lady:

James Blake self-titled
The Weeknd - House of Balloons
Adele - 21
Drake - Take Care
Meshell Ndegeocello - Weather
