Janelle Monáe || 25 TOP Lyrics
/First, if you haven't watched Janelle Monáe's new visual album, what are you waiting for? I have so any thoughts on this album, released on April 27, 2018. I honestly do not know what took me so long to watch it, but her futuristic funk artistry and conceptualization of societal issues is superb. She targets oppression in our world in such an intersectional fashion, isn’t she such a badass, what?? Monáe gives us the timely vision of Prince with the artistic excellence of the Knowles sisters while screaming black, queer and screams feminist empowerment. Essentially, it's just really cool. This album is ambitious, artful, inspiring and thought-provoking.
Meaning behind "Dirty Computer":
According to Jane, in an interview with IheartRadio; "We're downloading, uploading things in our brains, in our hearts, and some of the things that make us unique can be seen as these bugs, and these viruses. "For me, I see all my bugs and viruses as features, as attributes. This album is about celebrating other Dirty Computers who have been pushed to the margins of society. This album is about reckoning what it means to have your rights trampled on and to face opposition, perseverance. It's a lot of dance to you, love more. This album is centered and rooted around love. And no revolution, in my opinion, will last if we don't speak out of love. If we're not listening to understand, but listening to respond, we're screwed. And so Dirty Computer is a gift that I feel very honored and privileged to give. I hope that all the Dirty Computers around the world feel heard, feel seen, and feel celebrated."
