Janelle Monáe Wows with Grimes Collaboration 'Pynk'
This is stunning...
2018 belongs to Janelle Monáe. The artist extraordinaire may have spent the past few years wowing us on screen with her roles in award-winning films including Moonlight and Hidden Figures but she is now back releasing music again and she is on fire.
The 'Tightrope' hitmaker just debuted her new single 'Pynk' on Beats 1 with Zane Lowe and it is incredible.

Pynk behind all of the doors, crazy
Pynk like the tongue that goes down, maybe
Pynk like the paradise found
Pynk when you're blushing inside, baby
Pynk is the truth you can't hide, maybe
Pynk like the folds of your brain, crazy
Pynk as we all go insane
So, here we are in the car
Leaving traces of us down the boulevard
I wanna fall through the stars
Getting lost in the dark is my favourite part
Let's count the ways we could make this last forever
Sunny, money, keep it funky
Touch your top and let it down
Yeah, somethin' like that, uh
Ah, somethin' like that, uh
Yeah, somethin' like that
'Cause boy it's cool
If you got blue
We got the pynk
Pynk like the lips around your, maybe
Pynk like the skin that's under, baby
Pynk where it's deepest inside, crazy
Pynk beyond forest and thighs
Pynk like the secrets you hide, maybe
Pynk like the lid of your eye, baby
Pynk is where all of it starts, crazy
Pynk like the halls of your heart
So, here we are in the car
Leaving traces of us down the boulevard
I wanna fall through the stars
Getting lost in the dark is my favourite part
Let's count the ways we could make this last forever
Sunny, money, keep it funky
Touch your top and let it down
Yeah, somethin' like that, uh
Ah, somethin' like that, ooh
Yeah, somethin' like that
'Cause boy it's cool
If you got blue
We got the pynk
Yeah, somethin' like that, uh
Ah, somethin' like that, uh
Yeah, somethin' like that
'Cause boy it's cool
If you got blue
We got the pynk
Pynk like the inside of your, baby
(We're all just pynk)
Pynk like the walls and the doors, maybe
(Deep inside, we're all just pynk)
Pynk like your fingers in my, maybe
Pynk is the truth you can't hide
Pynk like your tongue going 'round, baby
Pynk like the sun going down, maybe
Pynk like the holes in your heart, baby
Pynk is my favourite part
Not only that but the multi-talented superstar also dropped its dreamy video which stars Tessa Thompson.
The song itself is a glorious ode to femininity and its Emma Westenberg video is too. It is its description.
“PYNK is a brash celebration of creation. self love. sexuality. and pussy power! PYNK is the color that unites us all, for pink is the color found in the deepest and darkest nooks and crannies of humans everywhere... PYNK is where the future is born....”
Seriously, like Janelle's previous singles and visuals this year ('Make Me Feel', 'Django Jane'), 'Pynk' is perfect and it has gotten us even more excited than we already were to hear the 'Q.U.E.E.N.' performer's upcoming studio album Dirty Computer.
'Pynk' was co-written by Janelle and Tayla Parx ('Love Lies') and it features vocals by Grimes.
Janelle worked with Grimes previously on the track 'Venus Fly' on Grimes' album Art Angels.
Dirty Computer is set to be released at the end of this month on April 27th.
In Janelle's words, it is an 'emotion picture. We cannot wait to hear/see it.
