As previously reported, Janelle Monáe’s upcoming second album, The Electric Lady, is jam-packed with big-name guests, including Prince, Erykah Badu (on the funky “Q.U.E.E.N.”), Solange Knowles, and Miguel, who sings alongside Monáe in the album’s latest single, “Primetime”. It’s a passionate love song soaked in sweet harmonies and sweltering guitar solo. Listen in below.
The Electric Lady hits shelves on September 10th via Bad Boy/Wondaland/Atlantic (pre-orders are ongoing). In support, Monáe has announced a headlining tour for October/November. Consult the full schedule below.
