Janelle Monae is one of the brightest lights in music today. In a music industry where pop stars with, at best, mediocre abilities are manufactured and molded in the name of a quick buck, Janelle Monae’s talent stands above and beyond. Have a quick browse through any video of a live performance for instant justification.
Earlier this year, Janelle released her latest album, “The Archandroid,” to massive critical appeal, and a sure spot on year end best album lists everywhere. There’s now a music video for the track “Cold War,” undoubtedly one of the album’s biggest standouts. It’s shot in a single take, and, unlike the dance happy video before it for “Tightrope,” consists only of a close up of Janelle’s face. Somehow I’m still very much entertained. Check it out below.

I’ve also included the video for “Tightrope” ft. Big Boi below, which is awesome.
AND if you’re still itching for more, here’s the video for the Wondamix version of “Tightrope,” that features B.o.B. and Lupe Fiasco, for even more awesomeness.
