Janelle Monáe
Dirty Computer
I mean come on, it's Janelle Monáe we're talking about here. It's more of the same, that is more of the same genius blending of genres from hop hop to R&B to indie rock to rap to soul to funk. And then the cherry on top is Janelle floating her unique voice and lyricism over every track, each she meticulously wrote and produced to absolute perfection. This woman is the pop star of our dreams, if only Taylor and Beyoncé would finally sit the hell down and get out of the way. #JANELLEISYOURGODNOW
