12842192, plz explain Janelle Monae's relevance. Posted by melmag, Tue Jun-30-15 10:55 AM
I get she's marketed as a mainstream antithesis, but does she hav the hits to back it up? Any great albums? Can u even name 3 of her songs w/o google?
Is she a platinum artist? I'm guessing no. Is she controversial? No. I know these yardsticks are shallow but today's music climate often require such.
basically,she gets the acclaim/attention of someone much bigger imo. And this isnt "hate" btw. Just curious as to what still keeps her in the public eye like that. She has one hell of a PR team apparently
