Cop a gander of Janelle Monae!

Sporting her now-trademark black and white, the ‘Tightrope’ singer strikes quite the pose on the February cover of Elle Canada.

The feature comes on the heels of a “break-out” window of sorts for the the skilled stage blazer. Indeed, the 27 year old’s debut LP ‘The ArchAndroid (Suites II and III)’ was nominated for a Grammy award and connected with enough folk to keep her consistently touring for the last two years. Perhaps most importantly, though, is the fact that it’s been on heavy rotation here at TGJ HQ since its release in 2010.

It goes without saying that we can’t wait for its follow-up!
