Janelle Monáe

Studio 360 | Jan 11, 2011

Amid the 1900 bands who played the SXSW festival in Austin, Texas last weekend, Janelle Monáe stood out from the crowd. She's a funk-soul singer who fills her tunes with sci-fi and robot references. Her new album is Metropolis: The Chase Suite. Studio 360’s Leital Molad caught up with Monáe backstage.
