Janelle Monáe – “Tightrope” Stream: Tightrope

Janelle Monáe – “Cold War” Stream: Cold War

While Janelle Monae‘s new album The ArchAndroid doesn’t come out until May 18 on Atlantic Records, she’s already wrapping up a small club tour supporting her debut LP with three shows in NYC over the next few days. Tonight (April 8) she’s playing the Highline Ballroom (the biggest of her 3 local gigs) and Friday and Saturday, she’ll be showcasing her talents in the intimate confines of Joe’s Pub. I imagine she’ll start a full blown North American tour some time next month when the album drops, expect those dates to be announced any day now.

More Janelle Monae tour dates and a video for “Tightrope” after the jump.
