Itâs been five years since Janelle MonĂĄeâs The Electric Lady, during which time sheâs racked up the accolades for her work in films like Hidden Figures. But the âTightropeâ artist apparently snuck in a trip to the recording studio at some point, because sheâs just announced a new album, Dirty Computer.
We donât know when the album will be released, but MonĂĄe has shared a gorgeous teaser for the project, which she calls an âemotion picture.â The montage is full of Afrofuturist imagery, as well as scenes of MonĂĄe and Thor: Ragnarokâs Tessa Thompson owning every room they walk into together as a voiceover touches on colonialist themes. According to Pitchfork, the teaser will accompany screenings of Black Panther in select theaters, but you can watch it below.
