Janelle Monae has been dropping a number of tracks lately. "PYNK," "Django Jane," and "Make Me Feel," have been her singles that have teased the release of her upcoming album, Dirty Computer. Having released "I Like That" just last week, she's now back with the official music video that sees her posted up with different versions of herself.
Following the release of her album, Janelle will be premiering a 44-minute short film titled Dirty Computer: An Emotional Picture. The movie will premiere on April 26th on both BET and MTV and is described as "a visually stunning story of a young woman named Jane 57821 (Monáe), who is living in a totalitarian near-future society where citizens are referred to as ‘computers’."
Creed and Thor: Ragnarok actress, Tessa Thompson, is also starring in the film co-directed by Andre Donoho and Chuck Lightning, with Janelle producing the film herself.
