Something Amazing!!!

We're not sure if this young lady is going to be the "next big thing". We don't even know if she'll ever be big, at all. But that, ladies and gentelmens, is besides the point, because she is amazing. We couldn't be bothered to check out her back catalogue or wikipedia her to find out boring things about her like what school she went to, or what achingly cool record label she's signed to, but we want to show you this (above). Please do watch it, it's fucking amazing.

Basically, to catch your attention, this is the video for "Many Moons", by Janelle Monáe. Janelle, for the uninitiated, is sort of like André 3000 meets Kelis, via Björk. The video is like something Lady GaGa would cook up (it's full of odd robots and dramatic speaking bits in funny voices) squeezed through the ambitious genius of Madonna (it's got a politicised rap bit like American Life... noooo DON'T GO AWAY!!! It's GOOD!). It's like Janet Jackson performing a song produced by Missy back when she was interesting! It's like Robyn collaborating with Santogold produced by Kanye West, Mark Ronson and Goldfrapp IF YOU CAN IMAGINE THAT. In other words... it's fucking bonkers.

No seriously... this is like the craziest debut shit since Kate Bush squealed her way around that famous novel. This makes Róisín Murphy look normal. This makes up for the whole "VV Brown is quite boring" debaucle (google her). It's crayzee. There are evil, android brides at the end for no reason AND A HORSE. This is hot shit!!! There's another amazing song on her myspace called Sincerely Jane that makes use of a dramatic symphony orchestra in an AMAZING WAY (as opposed to that shit, overhyped way it was used in the so-called Last Shadow Puppets single/album/whatever). This is good.

*By the way... if we wake up in the morning and realise that we think this is actually overbuzzed shit and not worth our time, we are FULLY entitled to that opinion. We reserve the right to change our minds at any time about anything whatsoever*
