Janelle Monáe Premieres Videos For Her Singles “Make Me Feel” And “Django Jane”
Janelle Monáe has kicked off her new music era with the premiere of her two singles “Make Me Feel” and “Django Jane” which are accompanied by two colourful and cinematic visuals, directed by Alan Ferguson and Andrew Donoho.
"““Make Me Feel”, directed by Alan Ferguson, captures the spirited, celebratory voice of Monáe as she affectionately nods to the ripe sounds surrounding the 1980’s music and dance revolution. Delivering electric vocals, pop hooks and confident, female-driven lyrics, Monáe brings the song to life in a vibrantly colored video highlighted by provocative silhouettes moving across the screen. “Django Jane” underscores Monáe’s ability to unleash her biting, unapologetic flow in a song that embraces contradictions as part of the beauty of individuality. The video was directed by Andrew Donoho and Chuck Lightning with additional vagina monologue footage directed by Lacey Duke. The song is a powerful black girl magic womanifesto that celebrates the strength of black women and black culture while addressing the trials and tribulations of identity in the 21st Century. Both videos are streaming now on Monáe’s YouTube channel.”"
The songs serve as lead singles from her forthcoming third studio album “Dirty Computer”, which will be arriving in stores on 27th April. “Make Me Feel” is a soulful and funky, Motown-esque number that had me thinking of Jackson Five, Prince, Robert Palmer and and the visual is so much fun and colourful. “Django Jane” see her spitting some fire while serving some hot looks and showcasing some black girl magic and how beautiful it is to be us, our culture is so rich and powerful yet overlooked and stolen from and sold as something but with new image attached to it but we are taking it back and showcasing badass we are.
