Janelle Monáe is back with a funk, female-empowered single entitled “Q.U.E.E.N” featuring vocals by soulstress Erykah Badu and even raps verse by Monae herself:

“Are we a lost generation of our people?
Add us to equations but they’ll never make us equal.
She who writes the movie owns the script and the sequel.
So why ain’t the stealing of my rights made illegal?
They keep us underground working hard for the greedy,
But when it’s time pay they turn around and call us needy.
My crown too heavy like the Queen Nefertiti
Gimme back my pyramid, I’m trying to free Kansas City.”

Can’t you already picture Ms. Monae gliding across the stage with this one?

This new record will be featured on her highly anticipated LP entitled Electric Lady. No word on the release date as of yet.

Can you imagine being in the same room with these performers during a jam session? Sheesh.

Soul crooner/acoustic guitarist Raul Midón reworked Billie Holiday’s 1939 blues standard, “Strange Fruit,” into a St. James Infirmary Jazz arrangement dipped in dub and cumbia stylings by LA-based production team The Decoders.

Midón’s rich vocals carries the anti-lynching lyrics, penned by Jewish songwriter Abel Meeropol, to the same haunting place as the original. However, The Decoders’ eerie production makes this record even darker.
