Janelle Monae outdones herself through a sci-fi, futuristic film with amazing imagery and even greater music
Nice companion piece to an amazing album.
Emotional journey into inner experience and relationship with the world of a great music artist. Very sexy and visually appealing.
Underated, unsurprisingly. Janelle needs her voice heard far and wide!
janelle is gorgeous and confident in this dystopian film referencing the album. the overarching storyline in janelle’s music is incredible!
one of the most beautiful & fearlessly explorative music videos (if you can call it that) around. sensational for poc & lgbt people
Visual marvel soundtracked by Janelle’s groundbreaking album. A showcase for music videos sure, but they’re all great videos.
A completely beautiful visual album. TBH, I liked it better than Lemonade.
It was cool to see Tessa Thompson. I liked the music better than I thought I would. The whole computer/programming thing was not a good idea
I love Janelle's music and voice. The movie is predictable butwhocares, the videos are so beautiful aesthetic and the outfits nice designed
