Mikey: Janelle Monae just released a new track, , “Come Alive”, for the Kia Soul Collective project which also features handpicked artists MGMT, Silversun Pickups, Against Me!, N.E.R.D., and Clipse. Expect some tour dates, and more new music from these arists soon. Is Ms. Monae still signed to Bad Boy, any one know?

You can easily tell if someone is still signed to Bad Boy; if their album ever comes out – chances are they are no longer signed to Bad Boy.

This song is horrible, more derivative than a lot of rap songs today. Ugh.
She is currently signed to Wondaland Arts Society, AND Bad Boy/Atlantic Records.

Janelle Monae is fucking awesome! best thing that’s happen to Puffy since the BIG Ma$e Lox Kim days I love puff dude is a total character and a hip-hop staple like it or not I just hope he doesn’t fuck this one up cause that would be such a shame. As for Q-tip well it’s Q nothing more really needs to be said, you throw Norah Jones on there and you can’t really miss. It’s my fav song on the album that and Move, and I like the video I’m picking up some chemistry there on the screen perhaps there was some on set canoodling LOL, hey if there not a couple already, let me be the first to throw that rumor out there LOL. Hey why not I think they look good together it could work hell we already know they make beautiful music together in the studio why not elsewhere.
Side Note Janelle is fucking stunning man that face jeeez god def blessed her.

When I learned Monae was signed to Bad Boy I was crestfallen. DAMN! DAMN! DAMN!! as Florida Evans would say. But her music came out anyway.
Monae is so underrated, its a shame! Yeah, she’s astonishingly and exquisitely beautiful on the outside, but so is her voice, her lyrics and her songs. We need a Janelle Monae on the radio today. Last year she was one of the few artists who made 2008 especially great and I am looking fwd to listening to her songs. Unlike many “artists” today, and she is an artist, a brilliant one at that, she has something say and that something is worth listening to.

I LOVE THIS SONG BY JANELLE MONAE!!! OMG!!!
I have waited SO long and this was worth the wait!!! AHHH! Love her!
Because I am a FAN! People get on my nerves with “pufff, diddy is this, that”. Who gives a fuck bout him.lol
Janelle and the Wondaland Arts Society (her LABEL) had a PARTNERSHIP with him! She never lost her creative control which I KNEW she would NOT allow! Which is all the mattered to me.lol
Now since he has left Atlantic, Janelle and her label deal directly with Atlantic. (i did investigating) They LOVE her too! Which is better to me anyway!
Anywho, hope I answered for you Miss Info! Love your site!!

I love her!
Her album The Chase is da shiznit!! so to the person above who asked if anyone would buy her album if she wasnt beautiful – the answer is YES.
Thank you Mickey for posting this, I saw it earlier on her blog and I cannot stop listening to the song.
We need more artistes like her, people if this is your first time hearing about her go youtube “Sincerely, Jane” or “call the law”, this girl is da truth.
btw- is she still on badboy? I thought Atlantic took on her latest projects. either way she is still da ishh

Come Alive is a great song!! I love all the different sounds that are in there…and the fact that it’s rock and roll, but JM and the band keep it funky:) I really can’t wait to hear what the new album sounds like!! Janelle Monae is WONDAFUL!!!

Im really digging this song. Like Elle mentioned it has a cool rock funky vibe. Janelle Monae is just splendiferously fantastical. Cant wait for the new material in early 2010!
