Janelle Monáe: The Chase Suite

Monáe makes me think of a female Andre 3,000 who she has worked with before but she is super unique as well.

She wants to be a female jockey and has been inspired by the science fiction author Isaac Asimov whom my husband loves.

Here is her site
Check out the Many Moons video. One thing I love that I don't think everyone will notice, is the old skool Sesame Street tune she uses in Many Moons!
