SXSW 2009: Janelle Monae – Too Good To Be Human?
“Janelle Monae is making some of the most inventive, refreshingly original music I’ve heard in a long time.”
“Watching her alternately churn through edge-of-the-Milky Way rock raveups; pull off gorgeous, hushed, chill-inducing Judy Garland-meets-Dinah Washington jazz ballads; and jerk across the stage to funky, minimal tight-locking rhythms as if she were David Byrne with a hanger stuck in the back of her suit, I can’t help but wonder whether she’s actually human. Or just the coolest robot ever programmed.”

“it’s been a while since felt so fully enraptured and bemused and awed as I did when she was on stage.”
“Monáe completely owned a corporate-sponsored unofficial day party Thursday, displaying a showtune-worthy
know-how above and beyond her SXSW peers.”
“As far as up-and-comers, South African rock act BLK JKS and alternative soul singer Janelle Monae have been
Twittered about by plenty of attendees.”
