2845236, Great Album, But Can't Touch "The ArchAndroid"
Posted by J-Elijah, Thu Oct-03-13 01:52 AM
"The Electric Lady" is a great follow up to "The ArchAndroid" if only just to showcase the introduction of Janelle's seemless flow as a lyricist. Could a full Janelle Monae rap album be in the works in the future? But still "The ArchAndroid" outshines "EL" for it takes listeners on a journey like the soundtrack of a science fiction movie with it's lush classical orchestral arrangements & epics like "Babopbyeya" & "Say You'll Go."
But I'm giving "EL" love mainly for these cuts:
-Victory
-Can't Live Without Your Love
-Ghetto Woman
-Dorothy Dandridge Eyes
-Electric Lady
(And here's to still hoping Janelle & Erykah Badu do an epic duet ballad that shows their true vocal range & dramatic showmanship -
Q.U.E.E.N. was good, but it wasn't even the best duet this year)
