The obvious move would have been to shoot at the legendary Electric Lady Studios — and the stickier idea would have been to pay homage to the alternate NSFW Electric Ladyland album art — but Janelle Monae does not do the expected.
I can easily imagine the work of avant-garde audio artists Janelle Monae and Erykah Badu someday occupying a deserved place in a museum. For now, we get this minimilast and classy gallery show, brimming with style and verve as two iconoclasts easily mesh.
