New Music Video: Janelle Monae

24-year old Monae is set to release her debut album, and "Tightrope" is her lead off single. I couldn't be more excited for her. The alternative soul artist is truly a performer as evidenced by the music video for the single. Be on the look out for Archandriod on May 18th, or at the summer festival circuit (but unfortunately not at Coachella! :( )

Regina Spektor vs. John Lennon

From a posthumous John Lennon release that was originally documented with Lennon's personal hand-recorder comes a beautifully emotional love song. Regina Spektor starts with that and builds on it with impeccable vocal stylings and a dash of her own talent on the piano. Spektor recorded this song for Amnesty International's Instant Karma to Save Darfur campaign. I encourage you to support this cause by taking a look at the entire benefit CD and buying tracks (or the whole CD) from it. All John Lennon covers by fantastic artists.
