Janelle Monae: Fugitive android, time-traveling songstress



"LOS ANGELES, California (CNN) -- Janelle Monae is a girl from another planet, and she's invading your world.

Sightings of the singer-songwriter will include this week's "American Idol" finale, the Hollywood Bowl and concert stages across America this summer and TV's Sci Fi Channel this fall.

Monae insists that her real identity is Cindi Mayweather, an android traveling through space and time to escape destruction ordered because she fell in love with a human, a fatal infraction of robots' rules.

Along the way, she's making music that moves into the future while drawing from decades past."
