Janelle Monae to release two albums in 2012
Janelle Monae returned to her hometown of Kansas City, Kan., on Friday to visit her family and to appear with Kansas City Mayor Sly James at the Mayor's Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony at Crown Center on Friday night. Before a pre-ceremony reception in the American Restaurant, she met with members of the local media. Here's what she had to say during our brief interview:
Ke$ha Gets ‘Sleazier’ with Lil Wayne, Wiz Khalifa, T.I., & André 3000
Ke$ha is getting “Sleazy” with four of her favorite rappers. The pop star has called on Lil Wayne, Wiz Khalifa, T.I., & André 3000 for the official remix to her Cannibal single.
“Sleazy Remix 2.0 Get Sleazier” will be available on iTunes on December 13. A version with only André 3000 appears on her remix album I Am the Dance Commander + I Command You to Dance: The Remix Album, which was released earlier this year.
“Get ready to get even $leazier with this sick collaboration I did with 4 of my favorite MCs of all time: Weezy, Andre 3000, Wiz Khalifa, and T.I.,” said Ke$ha. “I opened the ‘Get $leazy’ tour with this song every night and it always got the party started…Get ready, this is the SICKEST and SLEAZIEST version YET.$.”
Ke$ha is currently in the studio working on her sophomore album, due in 2012.
