check out some beats in FL!


I love Giant Step events, so if you are in Miami Beach, Florida, RSVP and attend this awesome once in a lifetime event!

info as follows:

Giant Step presents Janelle Monáe at the gorgeous Florida Room at DELANO.

Renegade, innovator, modernizer, leading light - in such a short amount of time, Janelle Monáe has grown from a singer into a phenomenon. Launching under the tutelage of Diamond-certified duo, Andre 3000 and Big Boi - now more than ever, the eyes of the world are on her.

With Metropolis Suite I: The Chase, the first of four highly anticipated album suites (out August 24, 2007), Janelle Monáe has found a way to innovate with subject matter and sound. The suite incorporates elements of electronica, hip hop, rock and soul and concerns an android named Cindi Mayweather, who is struggling for love and freedom in the year 2719. Follow Cindi's journey as she lures you into a world of unforgettable songs and powerful anthems wrapped in a new genre called cybersoul. "Violet Stars Happy Hunting" sounds like a frantic Disney song played by the Sex Pistols. The achingly beautiful, string-laden "Cindi" sounds like a moving Broadway classic crafted by Rogers and Hammerstein. "Many Moons" sounds like an outtake from a haunted opera, complete with doo-wop sass, Hendrixian guitar, booming drums and stabs of spooky organ; while "Metropolis" is a soulful blue waltz through a Bladerunner-like world where cyborgs fall in love with humans at their own peril.
