Ever-eclectic Janelle Monae lives up to her billing in the visual for her latest single ‘Primetime’.

Featuring fellow R&B rule-breaker Miguel, the clip for the track (which serves as the third to be lifted from Monae’s latest LP ‘The Electric Lady’), is described a love story based on the early adventures of Cindi Mayweather (Monae) and her first love Joey Vice (Miguel).
