Whilst in London, Janelle Monáe sat down with PinBoard to discuss a variety of topics, including the recording process behind The ArchAndroid and the influences she incorporated into it, the future of the human race and her energetic stage performances. Monáe also talks to us about her (now iconic) tuxedo and what it means to her, her thoughts and feelings towards Erykah Badu and what her support has meant, and also discusses how she’s dealing with being hailed as a musical messiah. The interview also features live footage shot by us at her Cargo gig last November-perhaps one of the most unforgettable nights.
The ArchAndroid is released today in the U.S and is out in the UK July 12th.

Have to give a massive shout out to Shan for quite possibly one of the best video interviews we’ve had featured on PinBoard. It’s a new day. Love to Sheri and Dershe too! And of course a huge thank you to Miss Monae!

Thank you for sharing this, a great interview. Her thoughts on the 'new race' was great to hear! She's so beautiful too!
she's so eloquent. Her answer about the tux caught me off guard, didn't think it was that deep. I just brought the new album and i already luv it!
