Janelle Monáe f/ Seun Kuti & Egypt 80 - "Float"

[KK_Lover]

I think I'm the only one enjoying this 

[fountain]

Sounds pretty good

[pink lightning]

I knew that her shenanigans on twitter that she would cancel singles and tour was a marketing ploy leading to something but damn didn't expect everyone here so opposed to the song. Still gonna cling to a little bit of hope 

[ThaInfo1]

This is for the "I Like That" audience. 

 

(aka me lol) 

[Crank_It_Up]

I loved I Like That so I’m actually excited. But I hope the upcoming album is not a step down from Dirty Computer as a whole because that album was amazing!

[wehavetostan]

Out tomorrow according to IG

[FightDragonsWithMe]

[liammmmacbtw]

hmm 

[HausofNick]

really interested and excited to hear an entirely new album from Janelle, I absolutely adore her work and think this new song is a fun listen

 

exciting to hear she describes this one as a "celebration" of sorts and a pleasure to write as well

[kyliefever2002]

"you like shibari? watch while I show you the ropes" 

[kandicha]

ooh i like it! it's quite different from what i expected based on the snippet, i love the instruments. 

[Brysexual]

This is a bop! I love it

[YR.]

OH THIS IS EXCELLENT

[madonnas]

The verses are fine but that chorus is so weak…

Monáe says the track "is inspired by Muhammed Ali talking **** in Zaire, 1974, Jane’s evolution, Mary Poppins’ umbrella, Aladdin’s magic carpet, Ja Morant’s flotation to the rim while dunking on his ops, Sara Elise’s ropes, excerpts from Paramahmsa Nithyananda’s talks on levitation, Raul’s toast on Dec 1, and  Bruce Lee’s mighty philosophy on being 'shapeless, formless,' and becoming one with your surroundings, to be like water."
