It’s a collaboration that has had us amped since it was announced; Janelle Monae has teamed up with soulful songstress Erykah Badu for new single ‘Q.U.E.E.N’.
The pair’s hotly anticipated duet is the first release to be lifted from Monae’s sophomore set ‘The Electric Lady’ (due later this year).
Speaking on the song, the dynamo performer wrote on Twitter:
Q.U.E.E.N. was inspired by private discussions between Erykah and me. It is meant to make you JAM. DANCE. FUNK OUT. and dialogue later…

Yes! I love this. There is alot of depth to this song, lyrically and musically. Halfway through the song I thought I had the gist of how the song would go and then another element/layer was added. I appreciate that attention to detail. I love both of them!
I love this, song. It’s something that’s different, and fresh!! Get Queens!!
