Ladies, ladies, ladies!!! “Don’t make me spell it out for ya” Janelle Monae has catapulted me into Women’s History Month vibrating on high. I am obsessed! I cannot stop watching. “Make Me Feel” is a mesmerizing, tantalizing Prince tribute freedom song — a funky jam to party to like it’s 1999. This video walks up to Justin Timberlake’s Superbowl projector ode and slaps it with the bass. Janelle, you do it right, you do it well. Make Me Feel Is Tribute Glory Where do I begin? They walk on the scene in style — if Bruno and Cardi are dripping in finesse, Tessa and Janelle are soaking in swag. Just the sight of these two stunting together gives you shivers. We then spot futuristic yet retro-styled peoples all up in the spot just chillin. By this time, the beat has come in with that funky bass and Janelle is playing no games with her musicality. Her lyrics, rhythm, and dissonant tones are just as colorful as the set. Then someone catches their eye and it’s another Janelle. Getting the vapors over yourself, YAAAASS QUEEEEN!
We don’t stop there. The sexual energy right off the bat can be licked up like sweet lemonade of a luscious debutante’s lips. With these beautiful brown ladies and infectious music, you can’t help it. The energy is expelled everywhere, we then explore this Downtown Julie Brown set, with retro arcade games and flirtatious intentions. At one point, we see another touch Tessa and Janelle with the ill SIDE EYE, like “uh uh.”
Then we back to business, sharing lollip…
