Janelle Monae makes her solo recording debut with the groundbreaking "METROPOLIS" project, with Antwan "Big Boi" Patton serving as Co-Executive Producer. An epic musical journey into the future, the project will be unveiled with the release this August of the "METROPOLIS: THE CHASE SUITE" EP - which introduces Janelle’s android alter ego, Cindi Mayweather, as she lures the listener into her sci-fi inspired world of cybersoul.

"Metropolis is the place I’ve been dreaming about all these years - a city inside your head," says Janelle. "It’s an adventure the music brings to life." Monae’s debut full-length album will follow in January.
