I hate to sound bitter (although I probably am), but you’re a bit late on her- no?

Forgot to mention, there’s a music video/short film for ‘Many Moons’ and it pretty much sums up how awesome Janelle is in the space of 6-odd minutes.

My favourite JM songs:

Violet Stars Happy Hunting
+
Many Moons

back to back is pretty fantastic.
She is single-handedly the next Outkast.

GQ did an article on her. If she doesn’t generate buzz, that’s okay with me. I will continue to enjoy her.

Nice to see I’m not the only one.. and those two tracks really are killers. Thought this year was going to be her year with the re-release of the EP, so hopefully the album can really get the word out. Just pray she doesn’t get messed with too much to become more ‘accessible’, you know Diddy will have his hands all over it.

haha totally agree w/ the Andre 3000 comparison. It was the first thing I thought when I first saw her music video.

Sincerly Jane has also been a favorite of mine; when the claps start coming in the pre-chorus…WOW.

JUST NOW!?!? Janelle is so fantastic. I love Violet Stars Happy Hunting, and of course Many Moons. And how can you not love that adorable face/haircut?

i found janelle three weeks ago after browsing around on diddy’s myspace page and was blown away by her. she’s like outcast meets adele meets …herself! cd is 7 bucks and is amazing! “mr. president” and “many moons” -oh snap, the jams! it’s funny i was going to write to PMA about her….

Good find Luis.

It’s a cliche, but Janelle is a breath of fresh here.

“Sincerely Jane” is especially good.

“Sincerely, Jane” is too good! Wow. Just, wow.

Did I say Wow?

Another PMA-approved artist, another day, another eargasm.
