I remember seeing her rehearsing with Bruno Mars playing drums. They go back years.

Somehow I missed this thread. Her debut was one of the best albums of of the '10s, and probably one of the top 25 debut albums of all time. Such an impressive mix of a diverse range of styles, all the while having the consistency and coherency and atmosphere of a concept album. It was also incredibly cinematic, far more than most concept albums tend to be, in part, I think, because it was (partly) inspired by film music. The two albums that came after were solid too, but I think each was a step down from the last, though I adore the Prince-influenced Make Me Feel from her last album.
Really wish she'd release more music more often because she's ridiculously talented.

Prince had great belief in Janelle Monae.
What I'd personally like to see is Monae collaborating with Lady Gaga as they are my current favourite pop stars. They seem to have great respect for each other and have connected online before. Fans on Twitter and other social media platforms, for both artists, have voiced this same idea, even asking them directly to collaborate. They are both talented musicians too, so they could really jam if they took it out on the road.
