Janelle Monae Kills on First Tour with No Doubt

...."And as great as the headliner was on this night, they weren’t the best band on the bill. Janelle Monáe, the first opening act, put on the kind of performance that is so unique, visceral and true that it’s awfully tough to put into words. Joined by an amazing three-piece band, the singer touched on thunderous, Outkast-like grooves, girl-group R&B and vocal jazz in her very brief set. Like James Brown fronting the JB’s, her elastic voice, nimble dance moves and unbelievable energy made for an artistic force that stops you in your tracks."

Janelle Monae has said she uses her imagination as an escape from a rough childhood, which was marked by her father's addiction to drugs.

Fresh Air from WHYY, June 17, 2009 · Janelle Monae, the singer, songwriter and performer from Kansas City, blends cabaret, soul, funk and rock 'n roll in her music.

Her 2007 debut album Metropolis: The Chase Suite featured a character named Cindi Mayweather, Monae's android alter-ego from the year 2719. "Many Moons," a single off the album, earned the singer a Grammy nomination, and helped Monae catch the ear of Sean "Diddy" Combs, who signed her to his Bad Boy roster and re-released the album.

In 2005, Outkasts's Big Boi included two of her songs on his compilation, Got Purp?, Vol. 2. Monae also performed in Outkast's Idlewild soundtrack.
