JANELLE MONÁE UNVEILS “ELECTRIC LADY” VIDEO: T.I., ESTELLE, ESPERANZA SPALDING

Today, Janelle Monáe unveils the music video for “Electric Lady” at www.janellemonae.com.

Monáe took the opportunity to celebrate several “Electric Ladies” in her life while filming the video for her latest album’s title track. Guest appearances include T.I., Estelle, Esperanza Spalding, T-Boz, Monica, Kimbra, Joi, choreographer Fatima Robinson and a special opening cameo by Ms. Monáe’s lovely mother!

Recently the WHITE HOUSE has given recognition to Janelle Monáe with the First Lady Michelle Obama pronouncing herself the “First Electric Lady.”

First Lady Michelle Obama on Janelle Monáe:

“First of all, I am honored to be the first Electric Lady. I got my letter in the mail — I framed it; it’s up.”

“I love that she is one of the young artists here who is making music that means something. She has a message. She has a voice. She has a power in her. And she understands the responsibility she has within her grasp to take these opportunities and just take off with them. She serves as a role model and an inspiration to so many young people. And I am happy to call her my friend. I am so proud of her.”

President Barack Obama on Janelle Monáe:

“Janelle has performed at the White House, like, 15 times. There’s going to be an official Janelle Monae room in the White House. We love her. Michelle and I love Janelle. We love her energy. We love her talent. But we most of all love her character. And anybody who gets a chance to talk to her, this is just a remarkable, strong, smart young lady.

And I have to say nice things about her because she may be the only person in possession of a video in which I try to keep up with her and Usher on the dance floor. Now, this is top secret. She has promised that this will never be released. But she can blackmail me at any time.”
