Janelle Monae Erykah Badu 'Q.U.E.E.N.' [LISTEN]: The 'Fun' and 'Window Seat' Singers Team Up For New Album 'THE ELECTRIC LADY', Single A Summer Hit?

Indie free spirit divas Erykah Badu and Janelle Monae have finally fulfilled hipster's fantasies! The dynamic vocalists, teamed up for 'Q.U.E.E.N.,' the latest single from Janelle Monae's fourth coming album, THE ELECTRIC LADY.

The positive and uplifting jam is infused with smooth funkadelic harmonies derived from the electric guitar, piano, and drums. As Janelle Monae leads the song, setting the tempo with her strong delivery of rhetorical questions about why or what makes her a "Q.U.E.E.N."

Badu comes in towards the end, with her unique serenades, about testifying "because the booty, don't lie," As the tempo slows down, and you think the song is; an upbeat jazz tempo sneaks in, and Monae turns it up again with an empowering rhetoric, that seems more like a combination of spoken word and rap, then singing.

"Q.U.E.E.N." is definitely something that you can dance too, while also feeling motivated to be comfortable in your own skin. The combination of Baduism and Monae's "Fun" is stellar and sure to top charts.
