As multi-talented stars go, few come as revered as Janelle Monáe.
Blazing a trail as an artist, she has racked up ample accolades for her impact on the music landscape.
Parallel to this has been a growing acting portfolio, which now adds Amazon’s ‘Homecoming.’
Monáe leads season 2 of the series, due on Prime Video this Friday (May 22nd).
Promising a number of seismic twists and turns, she plays a tenacious woman who finds herself floating in a canoe, with no memory of how she got there or who she is. What ensues is an unmissable search for identity.
That Grape Juice‘s Patrick Buchanan sat down with Monáe, who opened up about the show, new music, navigating lockdown, and much more.
Watch our EXCLUSIVE interview with Janelle Monáe above.
‘Homecoming’ season 2 arrives on Prime Video May 22nd
