Just bought Janelle Monàe's Anchandroid and I'm excited. I know I'm late but this is the first time I could find it in NC.

So the first thing I admired was the cover art. I saw the front cover online but th cover art is way more impressive in person. The head piece is amazing. I'm not sure if it's digital or real but it's gorgeous. The detail is beautiful. I'm curious as to what the symbol on the front of the head piece and cd mean? 

Another thing that I thought was really cool was that inside the cover she gives the back story to the theme and inspriration. The part that I was truly excited about was seeing my Wondafam's name all over the place, especially in the Executive Producer spots :) (Disclaimer: this blog and the opinion of DJ SPK is in NO WAY associated w the Wondaland Arts Society) "Concieved, Conceptualized, and Created by the Mad Minds of The Wondaland Arts Society" whaaatttt???? WELL DESERVED, and much over due. I can honestly say everyone involved w this project that I kno are true artist, intellecuals and visionaries.

Now for the music, as soon as I turned it on I was naturally entranced by the pleasantries to my ears. Not only that but zayd's head was bobbing and Marlee was attempting to sing "Faster". "Locked Inside" reminds of exactly what inspired them, "the collage in Stevie Wonders glasses". It's makes me wanna dance w marlee in the kitchen, and it reminds me of afternoons in Wondaland. My mom likes "Tightrope" for obvious reasons (she's dancing to it right now in th car lol). "Babopbye Ya" is a personal fav. 

In listening to album, I feel like it was well thought out, visual, and powerful. Of course, I purchased it to support the fam, but after listening I can honestly say that it was worth evey penny (which I knew it would be ne way :) )  

Btw, "Neon Gumbo" made me smile ;)
