With the release of her new album, Dirty Computer, Janelle Monáe talks to Allure Magazine about visibility, about fighting for love, and about always choosing freedom over fear.
Dirty Computer is an album that feels like a coming out in every sense of the word. There was a sense that her signature pompadour might actually be full of secrets. All of that changes now. Monáe admits that this album came from a place that’s more open.
This isn’t just some confessional album. It’s personal, but it’s intended to speak to the hearts and minds of many. “It’s about all of us, all the people that at least I feel a responsibility to. I had to pick who I was comfortable pissing off and who I wanted to celebrate.” - Janelle Monae.
To see her evolve from the beginning and venture off to acting is even more amazing. She has stayed true to herself and brought along all her friends with Wondaland Records. Morphing into a mogul I must say and she is only just getting started.
