Janelle Monae

ahh I was wondering about that character. It's called Lisa Cage? I saw it in the video and I was like wtf is on her head?

~~Soulflower~~ · 08-04-2013, 11:00 PM

lol^ Read this and you will have a better understanding of the Lisa Cage character. Chuck Lightning, a producer that produces for Janelles label Wondaland Arts Society wrote a full length story about the character in the video. Here is the brief introduction:

In this alternate universe, citizens wear Heart-Hats - birdcages on their heads, complete with colorful chirping birds.
This treasured custom of wearing Heart-Hats has lasted for centuries...

But as of late, the music of the electric lady Janelle Monáe has many fandroids questioning tradition, tossing their destroyed Heart-Hats into the streets, fighting conventional social norms and breaking out by any means necessary...

To make matters even more interesting... in the area of South Sweet Falls, in the home of the perfect housewife Lisa Cage, it seems the apocalypse is finally at hand...

Her son refuses to eat his peas.

Her daughter refuses to wear her Heart-Hat.

And is that a zombie on the front yard?

I generally don't like theatrical performers of pop music, but Janelle is one of the few exceptions. She's a huge talent with the potential to reach a wide crossover audience. I'm anxious to hear Electric Lady which could make or break her career, since she's only produced one other full album in the past six years.
