Janelle Monae spirit animal Prince already had heavy influence on her new single “Q.U.E.E.N.” featuring Erykah Badu. Prince has since got his hands on the funky track and gave it a remix of his own.
I’m getting a late ’80s rump-shaker, bass-looping, neon colors vibe from this “reprogramming.” More snaps, more tambourine, take out the melody and hone in on the hard “Humpty Dance” hits. The Purple One has a way…
Prince appears on Monae’s next album, “The Electric Lady,” due out later this year. Miguel will be on there, too, in case your day wasn’t going well enough.
