A classic is a classic (II)
Put the classic jazz divas, Elvis, Michael Jackson, tap dancing, swing and a whole lot of fresh talent together and you get Janelle Monae. Nothing new? Everything new. It’s just that nothing comes out of the blue. Sometimes the influences are more obvious, others less, but everything we do is inspired by everything that has been done. Janelle puts all her influences in your face and thank God for that. The result is an explosive cocktail of everything known as classics with a surprising new twist. Irresistible.
