Hopefully you have already been a long-standing member of the Janelle Monáe fan club, but if you aren't, please get to know the queen of psychedelic soul. If the words funk, style, class, and electric came to life and made a human, that human would be Monáe. Recently, she announced her third LP, Dirty Computer, a "narrative film and accompanying musical album" that drops April 28 via her own Wondaland Records. Thankfully we don't have to wait that long for a peek!

Monáe dropped the first two music videos for "Django Jane" and "Make Me Feel" today. I apologize in advance because you will spend the rest of your day watching these videos on repeat — and rightfully so. The sexy, '80s-inspired "Make Me Feel" gives us Prince and "San Junipero" vibes, and "Django Jane" will have you raising your first while also twisting your hips.
