GRAMMY®-nominated singer-songwriter/performer/producer/actress/activist, Janelle Monáe, unveiled new details of her highly-anticipated third solo album project, DIRTY COMPUTER. The “Emotion Picture” includes an album and an accompanying narrative film. Watch the new videos for “Make Me Feel” and “Django Jane” below!

Today, Monáe released two anthemic, electric singles, “Make Me Feel” which borrows vibes from Prince’s classic “Kiss” and “Django Jane” that features a much more aggressive yet acoustic sound with complementary music videos.  All pre-orders include downloads of the premiere singles, both now available individually across all platforms.


Make Me Feel”, directed by Alan Ferguson featuring Tessa Thompson, captures the spirited, celebratory voice of Monáe as she affectionately nods to the ripe sounds surrounding the 1980’s music and dance revolution. Delivering electric vocals, pop hooks and confident, female-driven lyrics, Monáe brings the song to life in a vibrantly colored video highlighted by provocative silhouettes moving across the screen. “Django Jane” underscores Monáe’s ability to unleash her biting, unapologetic flow in a song that embraces contradictions as part of the beauty of individuality. The video was directed by Andrew Donoho and Chuck Lightning with additional vagina monologue footage directed by Lacey Duke. The song is a powerful black girl magic womanifesto that celebrates the strength of black women and black culture while addressing the trials and tribulations of identity in the 21st Century.

 

View the full “Dirty Computer” trailer streaming now via YouTube and Monáe’s official website. The album is available for pre-order beginning today and arrives everywhere Friday, April 27th. Release date for the accompanying narrative film to be announced soon.
