It’s been two years since Janelle Monáe released The ArchAndroid, her epic debut that earned universal acclaim and a Grammy nomination for ‘Best Contemporary R&B Album’ (she was disgracefully robbed of by Usher’s Raymond V. Raymond). In a recent interview with Vanity Fair, the ‘Cold War’ singer announced The Electric Lady as the title of her sophomore followup and reiterated what she revealed back in December – that her new album will be released “according to her soul clock”. Typical cyborg.

No word on whether Monáe will follow through with her plans to release two albums in 2012.
