@pma2015 bish get in here! Our girl just went in! Those songs are literally breathtakingly good. I cant wait for more. Janelle never ceases to wow me. She is the best thing never praised by the mainstream. !!!!¡!!!!!!!!!

Queen JM finally gonna save pop music in 2018. If this is not a 'Starboy'-level international crossover hit, pop radios need to hang themselves.

Seriously, can we PLEASE give Janelle Monae a hit? The fact that one of the best albums of the decade produced no hits saddens me to this day.

I love this! This absolutely needs to smash. Such authentic Prince realness. I'm in love! As a longtime fan of Prince, I love that someone is authentically capturing that same vibe.

So she's never had a pop hit as a solo artist? All I remember is that she once "visited" the top ten of Billboard's Hot 100 as a featured artist in "We Are Young," but I cannot recall any actual solo hits. If there is any justice in this world, this jam will be her breakthrough solo smash!! It's pure fire...all funky riffs, killer hooks, and sexual energy. Prince is alive and she is HOT. Seriously, this better become a pop smash! Yoga was her first solo chart, peaked at 79 on the hot 100, never charted on pop radio

Has she had success on the RnB chart?? I thought she was doing well commercially because she is so respected within the industry.
I like this new song and own "Yoga" as well.

R&B/Hip-Hop: "Q.U.E.E.N"-#47 "Primetime"-#36 "Yoga"-#24 Yeah, she barely got love on the R&B/HH charts too. Her promo team needs to step the hell up.

Oddly enough her and Kacey Musgraves released the same weekend and both are highly respected artists in their genres... except when it comes to the mainstream part of their genres. It's really a testament to how great the digital age is that artists can have small amounts of clout and success and find their niche audience without having to have hits using traditional methods. Though to become a superstar you still need that and I'm hoping this is the song that does it for Janelle.

I'm not shocked that she had minimal chart success prior to Electric Lady. her singles from her first EPs/album definitely didnt fit with R&B or rythmic radio.

If this song doesn't become a huge hit after the trail of "shoulda been hits" she has left in her wake (from Tightrope to QUEEN to Dance Apocalyptic to Yoga), then I'm just going to assume it's personal and radio is intentionally ignoring her.

She's at peak exposure from her film work and this is SO good, so crossing everything for at least a medium-sized hit.

the weird synth from Filthy + that clicking noise you do do with tongue + sex = this song
I can see this being her biggest song yet but probably won't cross over
