Earlier today, Janelle Monáe announced her sophomore record, The Electric Lady, is due out Sept. 10, and with that news also came a new single. “Dance Apocalyptic” is equal parts Michael Jackson circa Jackson 5, soul, pop, and Sesame Street. In other words, it’s pretty good.

In other pretty good news, both Prince and Miguel will appear on The Electric Lady. Erykah Badu also pops up on the record’s lead single, “Q.U.E.E.N.”
