Don't get me wrong, I love writing. It's my passion. It's all I am genuinely good at. It's God's gift to me and I am thankful. But recently I feel like I've bitten of more than I can chew. Plus my old friend writer's block has resurfaced. Pray for me I think I'm gonna need it.

The Music of the Future

The first thing I remember about the black beauty with crazy feet and a memorable voice that I now know as Janelle Monae, was the nostalgic energy of her music. It was like watching a female reincarnation of Little Richard. Her current album The ArchAndroid is a bold display of her imaginative journey, compiled with her many musical influences. At first look, the album is simply a surreal musical spectacle. But her unique take on traditional themes such as inequality, romance, war and the future, as well as the way she paints pictures with her music, overrides this knee jerk response. Her music doesn’t necessarily cross boundaries as much as it erases them. She joins a small selection of artists to successfully explore blends of genres such as Afro Punk. As you listen to the album, you can hear the diverse genres she explores and masters. From Classical through to Rock, her eclectic taste spans across musical generations. Nevertheless these mergers of varying genres intertwine seamlessly in Monae’s album and the transition from song to song is very fluid. Her malleable voice tells a structured story with her music as well as her lyrics that makes the album unmistakably hers. Her voice is so versatile that it can be embedded comfortably in many genres and still sound original. Her sentiments of wanting to use music as an instrument for change are evident in the lyrics of her songs. Therefore Monae’s album can be described on a whole as euphoric and overwhelming.

I wrote this for a friend...I still don't know what he wanted it for...but here it is :) enjoy <3
