Janelle Monae has released the tracklisting and artwork for her highly anticipated sophomore album, The Electric Lady. The below video shows the cover’s beginnings from sketch artist Sam Spratt. After the jump, you can also view the alternate cover available exclusively through pre-ordering the deluxe 2-disc version from Target.com (I’m partial to that one myself — much more elegant).
The Electric Lady can be pre-ordered through iTunes HERE.
