Give way to the neo-soul sisterhood that is Janelle Monáe and Erykah Badu in the name of “Q.U.E.E.N.” This is the first single off of Monáe’s forthcoming album, Electric Lady, a vibrant tackle on subjects like social justice, and defying the media’s labels. Erykah, of course, is not a bad choice to help raise of track's volume - in multiple ways. When Janelle caught up with Billboard magazine backstage at this year’s Coachella, she said the inspiration for the song was organic, birthed from real life conversations that she and her “big sister” Erykah have had.
