We already knew that Janelle Monae’s single, “Tightrope,” was excellent. However, seeing her perform on Letterman was just icing on the cake–the full band, the dance moves, the old-school presentation of it all–if this doesn’t make you fall in love with Monae, then I don’t know what will. Keep watching until the very end for a bizarre appearance from Diddy (Well, not terribly bizarre–after all, Monae is signed to Bad Boy Records, Diddy’s label).
If you dig what you hear and see, be sure to grab Monae’s latest album, The ArchAndroid, which is officially in stores now.
