So this next piece is about some music, you know as a imagestylist in the making you have to stay on point when it comes to new artists coming out. Especially young female artists that set a positive example for other girls and young women out there (like myself). And yes I know 2010 isn't over yet and we had a couple of great artists emerging like Caro Emerald among others...
Anyway this girl is just a fresh breeze in an industry where women are continuous exploiting their bodies all for a good recorddeal and millions in the bank. Her name is Janelle Monae and she's signed to the Wondaland Arts Society (Outkast's label) and The Badboy/Atlanta Records (P.Diddy's label).
Though she brings a fresh and unique sound to the music business, the influence of Outkast can not be denied but I am absoluteling not complainting. Maybe that's what makes her even more unique. Her own voice is soft yet sharp at times, which make her produce beautiful touching ballads. Her music also has that same Outkast funky feeling and weird fast beat that makes you not even know how to dance to it anymore! Well than just bounce!That's what I always do...
This is one of my favourite tracks off of her sophomore album The Arch Android called Cold War.

But let's talk style and image for a second now. As you can see on these pictures Janelle has a rather masculine style going on. Her hairdo reminds me of Elvis this brings out her gorgeous face.But those suits she always wears? Well, I don't know about those yet but as I said earlier, she is refreshing! I think Beyonce should take an example and cover up a bit as she's getting older
Of course Janelle not always dressed in Marlene Diettrich-like-suits, so here's a few pictures of her and see which style you like better...
