Janelle Monae’s latest leak off The Electric Lady (September 10) is a searing ballad on the urgency of love and passion. Some of the inflections and the sharp electric guitar strings will remind you of some of Prince’s work (and that’s a good thing). After indulging in this treat, check after the jump for all of Monae’s tour dates.
