Janelle Monáe's : The Chase!

Under the tutelage of Grammy Award receiving hip hop duo, Big Boi and Andre 3000 of Outkast, emerges futuristic rock soul phenomenon, Janelle Monáe. Inspired by Fritz Lang's 1927 science fiction classic, Metropolis: the Chase Suite concerns an cyborg named Cindi Mayweather, who is fighting for love and freedom in the year 2719. Take Cindi's journey as she guides you into a world of unforgettable songs and powerful anthems wrapped in a new genre called cybersoul. Lyrically, she touches on race, slavery, love and segregation in magnetic songs such as "Many Moons" and Violet Stars Happy Hunting" which translates into what sounds like theatrical soul. The hauntingly beautiful, "Cindi" sounds like a moving Broadway classic, with operatic influences infused with hip-hop funk. "Metropolis" is reminiscent of a Bladerunner-like world where cyborgs fall in love with humans at their own peril.
