any haters need to worry cause this chick is only about to release her second full length and she's already schooling all your fav's that have been in the business for over 10 years. this woman is the next judy garland, james brown, tina turner, lauryn hill (yes we need a new one), prince, and mj rolled into one. shes pastiche and she will hone her own vision eventually but your fav could only DREAM of starting with what ms monae is working with.
