Singer Janelle Monae revealed the official release date for her second studio album "The Electric Lady". The album, which features collaborations from Prince and Miguel, will hit store shelves on September 10th."The Electric Lady was inspired by paintings. Every night I would perform and I would paint on the canvas while I would sing. I would paint this image of a woman (of a female body) every single night. Every night I would only want to paint the same thing over and over again. All of my friends saw the paintings and they encouraged me to give her a name," says Janelle about the album title.The album is preceded by her current single "Q.U.E.E.N." which features singer Erykah Badu.I have a feeling that Janelle is going to bring Prince out during her BET Awards performance this weekend. That would be iconic.

Singer/Songwriter Janelle Monae looks every bit of fierce on the cover of this month's BillBoard Magazine. Monae, who is gearing up to release her new album The Electric Lady, has enlisted powerhouses Prince and Miguel for her new project.
"We are great friends, and he is a mentor to us, to me," she says about Prince. "It's a beautiful thing to have a friend -- someone who cares about your career and wants to see you go far and to push boundaries and to shake up the world -- give whatever they possibly can to the cause."
I'm really excited for Janelle's collaboration with singer Prince being that she channels him a lot in her live performances.
Janelle's current single 'Q.U.E.E.N.' which features Erykah Badu has sold over 30k copies.
