Janelle Monae released her debut record The ArchAndroid this past Tuesday.  Although the album is mostly made up of up-tempo Andre 3000-esque bangers, there are some true surprises on the record.  Sir Greenwood up above is a psychedelic classic already.  How does an album on Diddy’s Bad Boy label contain such an authentic slice of lysergic pop?  Seems like Monae was helped out by the wonderful and psychedelic Kevin Barnes of Of Montreal!  This album ventures all over the place but still comes off confident and masterful.  To give you an idea of how different each song can get, check out Monae’s kick ass performance of lead single Tightrope on David Letterman.
