VIDEO: URB presents Two Sides of Cool - Janelle Monae (part 1 of 2)
URB presents Two Sides of Cool - Janelle Monae (pt 1 of 2) from Society Theory
URB:
After having the chance to spend some time in the space that is occupied by the incomparable Janelle Monae, it is easy to find yourself speechless when trying to describe the experience. Over the last few months, after being privy to a number of her performances, one comes to accept and understand the artisan level of perfection that Ms. Monae has brought to her music and art form. Deeply influenced by culture - past, present, and future - her visual and auditory identity has spurned comparisons to subjects as disparate as Fritz Lang and Alfred Hitchcock to James Brown and Marlene Dietrich.
Having caught up with her during the California legs of her current tour schedule, we've finally compiled enough scene worthy displays of her showmanship and character to give you a taste of what can only be termed a 'once in a lifetime' kind of performer.
The folks at URB HD present a Society Theory Original special edition Two Sides of Cool two-parter. Shot on location at the Paramount Theater in Oakland and at the SF Outside Lands Festival, Part 1 dives into her history and heretofore unseen or heard thoughts on her destiny and craft. Presented in a form that is inline with the style, character, and influence of Ms. Monae, both pieces were built out to harken back to the days of modern and classic film noir and serialized news reels.

VIDEO: Janelle Monae performs Charlie Chaplin's "Smile" for Billboard's Mashup Mondays
Said to be one of Michael Jackson's favorite songs, and sung lovingly at his memorial a year ago almost exactly by his brother Jermaine, this week's Mashup Monday goes all the way back to 1936 to famed silent film comedian Charlie Chaplin's bittersweet "Smile" as sung sweetly with a jazzy twist by hip-hop/R&B/pop mashup-unto-herself Janelle Monae.Composed as a theme for a key moment in Chaplin's classic Great Depression-era movie "Modern Times," the last of the great silents and a commentary on the pitfalls of fully industrial 20th century life, "Smile" is one of those few songs that became a standard, recorded by everyone from the big-band era well into the age of hip-hop. -billboard
