Come Alive, Divas!

We’re back for Part the Second, with Anoushka Lucas, talking about the incredible Janelle Monáe and, this week, we’re actually covering her career!

Join Holly & Tom as they take Noush on a deep-dive that begins with Janelle’s introduction of android-diva doppelgänger Cindi Mayweather and counts backward from the year 2719 as Janelle gradually sheds the ego in favour of the id, trampling all over genre boundaries as she goes.

Along the way, the gang learn about Tom getting abandoned at an OutKast gig, the power of the pop-star alter-ego (aka Harry Styles’ Fashion) and a lorra lorra chat about bombastic Biblical biopera, Jesus Christ Superstar.
