Janelle Monae fans are in for a treat!
Today, the soul singer reveals the third single lifted from her sophomore album The Electric Lady, titled
“Primetime.” The ballad features R&B crooner Miguel and shows a more sensual side of the funky songstress.
Unlike previous singles “Q.U.E.E.N.” and “Dance Apocalyptic,” “Primetime” gives fans a glimpse of Monae’s vocal range and versatility.
