Janelle Monáe
'); document.write('

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.

The Dead Weather
'); document.write('

There’s something really refreshing about The Dead Weather, the way they perform, the music they sing – kind of a funky punk grunge, different from song to song. Excellent beats, raw vocals and a simple no-frills dedication to the music that I feel like I haven’t seen in awhile. The filming of the live songs is also great – the black & white, high contrast really suits them well.
