Janelle Monae - Many Moons

We've loved Janelle/Wonderland Society's work for about a year now. The direction of production team, Outkast - mainly Big Boi, wasn't lost on the sound of the group headed by "Cindy Mayweather". It also wasn't the only reason why we loved her.
Yes, we'll admit we got really worried when she signed with P. Diddy. Her original sound and message was so compelling, inspirational and made me particularly optimistic for R+B (in whatever modern tone it's now taken). Those worries were solidified when we heard one of her first new pieces under PD where she backed Diddy's belligerent shitty rhyming with crooning ("SWAGGER LIKE PUFF" - listen on his Myspace

Yet, this first video release for Many Moons, a track released prior to her signing, is bringing back hope. Solangel Knowles and Rihanna can thank Janelle for the obvious inspiration.
With the depth of Shirley Bassey and the originality of an eternal Muse, I bring you the Blade Runner inspired mini movie, Many Moons, featuring our greatest musical hope, JM and the Wonderland Society.
