Red Bull's Sound Select program has announced a new set of shows in a handful of U.S. cities in late July. The program is designed to showcase local talent, and the Dallas show (on July 26 at Pr...

In 1994, when there were no Vines or Instagrams or Twitter feeds or blog updates to at least slightly numb one's FOMO, I watched MTV's coverage of the Woodstock re-up as a means to dull my anger about being born in the '80s. I was too young to go, and the dry, dirt-and-mud-free confines of my parents' basement were where I sat and watched it. It was aspirational. The mud didn't seem necessarily like fun, but with so many bands playing so close together, I could imagine braving the elements. Of course, at the time, I had no idea that [...]]]> text/html 2013-06-10T12:46:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4996702/the-top-30-moments-of-governors-ball-2013/
New York City had its second wettest day in June ever last Friday, the first day of Governors Ball . For almost 24 hours, Tropical Storm Andrea lingered over Randall's Island and decimated the grounds. Where once there were acres of grass that made up a driving range and what seemed to be prime real estate for some games of Ultimate Frisbee now was an acrid mud field. By the end of the festival, Snoop Lion had more grass than Randall's Island. And for reference, Lollapalooza paid $350,000 to repair Grant Park after a 45-minute rain storm came [...]]]> text/html 2013-06-09T11:41:20+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4995481/janelle-mone-the-electric-lady-esce-a-settembre-con-erykah/
Un listening party privato, tenutosi a Londra qualche giorno fa e ampiamente documentato su Twitter, un singolo in collaborazione con Erykah Badu , altri importanti partner lavorativi come Miguel e il folletto di Minneapolis Prince : a tre anni da The ArchAndroid e dopo alcuni featuring tra cui va ricordato quello con i Fun. su We Are Young, vera e propria hit dell'estate 2012, Janelle Mone torna con un nuovo disco , dal titolo The [...]]]> text/html 2013-06-07T22:59:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4994206/janelle-mone-junt-a-prince-y-a-miguel-para-su/

Janelle Mone has recruited some big-name talent for her sophomore album, The Electric Lady . Erykah Badu is featured on the lead single, Q.U.E..E.N. , and now Billboard reports that Prince and Miguel also make appearances on the album. Mone said of her collaboration with Prince: "I had a chance to produce an icon. It's not every day that he collaborates. I'm honored and humbled that he trusted me. He is forever my friend, and I am forever indebted. I can't say too [...]]]> text/html 2013-06-05T14:00:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4989052/akua-told-you-so/

Glad it's Friday? Long week at work? Ready to enjoy these next 48 hours of freedom away from the gig? Pour up and/or roll up, mellow out and let Miss Erykah provide the audio massage with "Gone Baby, Don't Be Long" from 20102s New Amerykah Part Two (Return of the Ankh) .

As a song, "They Die By Dawn" was already ill. The Bullitts aka producer/musical renaissance man Jeymes Samuel laid down a spaghetti western soundtrack that worked well for Yasiin Bey and Jay Electronica. But the Multitasking Samuel didn't stop there as the video is bigger than the average music video. It's a cinematic presentation that mimics the song itself and features a cast composed of Erykah Badu, Lucy Liu, Michael K. Williams, Isaiah Washington, Jesse Williams and Rosario Dawson.

As discussed , Erykah Badu and Yasiin Bey have joined forces for a fascinating show called "YOU'RE CAUSING QUITE A DISTURBANCE": A collaboration with four-time Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter and 2012-2013 Brooklyn Phil Artist-in-Residence ERYKAH BADU and 2011-2012 Brooklyn Phil Artist-in-Residence YASIIN BEY (Mos Def) Featuring new arrangements from Badu's 2008 album New Amerykah Part One: 4th World War by Brooklyn composer TED HEARNE (plus original music by Hearne) as well as the legendary arrangements of Yasiin Bey's songs by composer DEREK BERMEL (plus original music by Bermel) The June 8 show at BAM Howard Gilman Opera [...]]]> text/html 2013-05-13T15:00:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4947176/god-save-the-queen-erykah-badu-meets-janelle-monae/
Joshua Lerner has bow tie envy. Five minutes into the video for Janelle Monaes new single, Q.U.E.E.N., there is a cut to a man in a tuxedo clacking out a repeated line on a typewriter: We will create and destroy ten art movements in ten years. Like the rest of the song and video, this flash of thematic content is both mystifying and enticing. Monaes work creates a world in which every character, color scheme, and costume may relay a theme or plot point to her ongoing Wondaland saga. Which art movements? Why ten? Wait, [...]]]> text/html 2013-05-11T15:52:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4944985/erykah-badu-and-the-roots-i-wanna-be-where/

Was diggin' the homie, M-Rock 's Daft Punk refix . This remix of the Badu/Janelle Monae track that dropped a while back feels a little tepid to me tbh however. Disagree?

The democratization of music production over the past decade didn't come without casualties. Fruity Loops, now known as FL Studio, stood at the forefront of bringing the studio to your room. It also became the scapegoat of many purists who swear the DAW ruined genres based around loops: namely rap. Call me crazy but the people behind the program didn't change its name to "FL Studio" just because it sounds cool. Everyone's entitled to their opinion on the matter. At the same time one's skill, imagination and output trumps whatever instrument he or she uses [...]]]> text/html 2013-05-05T19:23:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4933026/video-premiere-queen-by-janelle-mone-featuring-erykah-badu/
The two powerhouses came together and came up with a great concept, but the song is just falling flat on its stupid face. The video is also cute although it looks like something Beyonce would do.

Janelle Monae 's forthcoming full new project Electric Lady won't be released until Fall but the insanely talented songstress has released an official clip for her first single Q.U.E.E.N. featuring Erykah Badu to hold us over for the time being.

Following the release of the single, "Q.U.E.E.N" off the upcoming album, The Electric Lady , Janelle Mone has created a work of art in the official music video for the as-to-be-expected funky track. Set in a museum where statuesque musicians, singers, and dancers alike are brought to life by music (WOAH, deep) and heavy on the black, white, and red accents, "Q.U.E.EN" becomes a visual jam as well as an auditory one. And of course, JanelleMone dons her signature suit and tie complete withtassels, fringe, and Johnny Bravo 'do. Watch out for Erykah Badu who is [...]]]>
