Janelle Monae’s New Video “Q.U.E.E.N.” Feat. Eryka Badu Makes You Groove & Think

Janelle Monae & Erykah Badu Q.U.E.E.N. Cover

Janelle Monae stopped by 106 & Park to premiere her new video "Q.U.E.E.N." featuring Eryka Badu.

The lyrics are already thought-provoking. The video? Even more so. Badu and Monae together is pure awesomeness.

What do U think?-DocFB

Jam Of The Week! New Janelle Monae “Q.U.E.E.N.” With Erykah Badu! Listen Now!

Janelle Monae & Erykah Badu Q.U.E.E.N. Cover

Here is the NEW Janelle Monae song "Q.U.E.E.N." featuring Erykah Badu, our DrFunkenberry Jam Of The Week!

Billboard calls the track unpredictable and says it is filled with some Princely guitar work.

Monae takes on religious tolerance and other things in the 5:12 track.

She explained to Billboard:

"This song is inspired by private conversations she (Erykah) and I have had and continue to have,"

"She's a great friend to me; she's like a big sister and it's a song about private dialogue that she and I have had."

There is no release date yet for the song but their will be an upcoming tour.  There is discussion by many on the web about if the song is discussing Janelle's sexuality.  Janelle somewhat responded in the Tweet below:

JAM. DANCE. FUNK OUT. We agree!-DocFB

Diagnosis: Funk It!!!

Fun Perform “We Are Young” On Letterman


If you have had your TV on the background while doing stuff, you have more than likely heard "We Are Young" by Fun. The song is everywhere.

We dig the song. Not so sure about that tongue action at the end but ok then.

The original and video version feature Janelle Monae where Fun are dressed much better than thier Letterman appearance.


Does anyone know if Janelle has performed the song live with Fun?

Hope you enjoy the performance!-DocFB

“Thumbs Up For Rock & Roll” For Prince & Possible Tour Opening Acts


Music icon Prince sure has a sense of humor. Along with a musical message to The Time/Original 7ven's Terry Lewis, he sent the video above. This video is too funny. "Thumbs up for rock & roll?" all right then.

When we first saw this video, I was like Waa?.... but by the end, it had us laughing.

Not only was this sent to Terry Lewis but also Paul Peterson aka St. Paul who was in the Prince band, The Family, who now call themselves FDeluxe.

We chatted briefly with Paul about things and will have some very cool stuff coming your way soon, including that new rehearsal jam that PRINCE sent his and our way.  Seriously, we cannot wait to give it to you.  Sometime this week, we promise!!!!!

BTW, make sure to LIKE Fdeluxe on Facebook and also make sure to give their official web site Fdeluxe.com some love as well.  Will they open up for PRINCE on his upcoming Welcome 2 Australia Tour?

Speaking of opening acts, we have heard of some other possible opening acts for dates on the tour;

Delilah and Janelle Monae just MIGHT be in the purple live experience.

What did U think of the video message?

Who do you want to open for PRINCE?

Where's Fluffy?

What did Terry Lewis think?

2 be continued and answered......sooner than U think!-DocFB

Exclusive Coverage & Photos Of Prince Performing At The NPG Music And Arts Festival!

Here is exclusive coverage and photos of Prince and The NPG playing at the NPG Music And Arts Festival Saturday, August 6th.  These photos are stunning.  It is a shame the weather cut this show short because by photos alone, it sure looks like Prince was bringing it. 

Just shaking my head as I think of the songs he has been performing lately.  "Gold", "What's My Name" "Calhoun Square" "Mutiny" and I could go on.  The Icon could do a month of shows without doing the same song twice.  We know it.

We have a feeling that day 2 of the NPG Music And Arts Festival is going to be even more amazing with Janelle Monae, Chaka Khan, and Nikka Costa performing before Prince and The NPG take the stage to funk you up yet again. To top it off, the special guest will be Maceo Parker! Seriously, Copenhagen be shakin'.  Even in the rain, you guys stayed.  It was a downpour and Prince was still bringing it.

It is very rare that Prince takes a bad shot but the shot of Prince getting rained on along with all of these I dig.  I think we should petition the first 2 photos to be posters or something.  They are that great.

We really hope rain does not play a factor in any of the shows for day 2 of the festival especially during Prince and the NPG's closing set.

We hope you enjoy the exclusive coverage and photos of Prince and The NPG.  We don't speak for Prince or the NPG, but I am sure they thank each and every one of you for braving the weather and supporting the Festival.-Dr.FB
