I love how everybody hear different influences in this: toto, prince, madonna, stevie. All mixed up in this little great artist named Monae.

[@PogieJoe]

So true. She's a high-speed blender of talent!

[@fluxoff]

Who's playing that super funky bangin' bass line?

[@fluxoff]

I liked her in "Hidden Figures" too!

[@SweetAngelBoy7777]

I hear "Love Rollercoaster" by Ohio Players 💀😂

[@1LadyLady]

Prince, Vanity, Lenny Kravis, Morris Day..... this screams 80s. Janelle Monae, such a gifted ear and vocalist... genius

[@kaymaya5134]

Definitely!!! 💕

[@detroitsmooth7520]

time.

[@TheSongofaRhododobird]

Janelle out here with another seductive sapphic tune

[@cuervito9634]

[Verse 1] I'm not the kind of girl you take home to your mama now I tell you no lies (I tell no lies) Your code is programmed not to love me, but you can't pretend Oh, what a surprise Maybe it's lust, maybe it's love, maybe it never ends Ooh, say your goodbyes (say 'em now) Play in my hair and nibble there all on my mocha skin Yeah, just take a byte [Chorus] Take a byte (just take a byte) Help yourself (help yourself) It's alright (it's alright) I won't tell (it feels so good when you nibble on it) Take a byte (just take a byte) Help yourself (you look so good just help yourself) Don't think twice (don't think twice) I won't tell [Verse 2] My random access memory wants you to come again No, don't say goodbye (don't say goodbye) I saw my therapist she thinks you are my magic sin Oh, maybe she's right (maybe she's right) Well I'll just lick an angel just to purify again Ooh, angels are fun (they're so fun) So dress me up I'll like it better if we both pretend Yeah, make love 'til we're numb [Chorus] Take a byte (just take a byte) Help yourself (just go ahead and help yourself) It's alright (it's alright) I won't tell (take a byte) Take a byte (just take a byte) Help yourself (you look so good just help yourself) Don't think twice (don't think twice) I won't tell Take a byte (just take a byte) Help yourself (help yourself) It's alright (it's alright) I won't tell Take a byte (oh won't you just take a byte) Help yourself (go on and help yourself) It's alright I won't tell [Outro] Just take a byte You look so good just help yourself It's alright Take a little byte Take a little byte Take a little byte

[@queenv4340]

Thanks loveee

[@kaymaya5134]

Thank you 🌻

[@sephoralydiaisrael2458]

I think I just like how Monae just sings the song no vocal acrobatics she keeps it simple simple and clean clean is good this song is on repeat all day

[@jordasia1]

Damn she's def giving me Prince vibes with this one💜💜💜💜

[@mrsdixon4162]

That ending sounds so much like Prince. I just love it. Janelle never disappoints. She is a beast.

[@amorejohnson4647]

Prince is proud 💜

[@Weezer1801]

This song is perfect. I have no idea why its not a huge hit. Love it.

[@stev6963]

Sadly Janelle Monae has never had massive mainstream recognition or success. But people like us know how amazing her artistry is.

[@cinnamonro1116]

@@stev6963 Technically she kinda has had her moment of mainstream success, as being a feature on we are young by fun which was one of the biggest songs of the 2010s, despite her feature being a complete waste and being incredibly short

[@bellabernal8533]

Why does this sound so good? The production is masterful.

[@lenore-bw6qz]

I IMMEDIATELY knew I would love this song, based on the first few seconds. This song and album are spectacular!!

[@brittanyabruns]

forever obsessed with this album !!

[@zavs350]

If it's Janelle Monáe, listening to it in order of the tracklist is a necessity. 1. Dirty Computer (Ft. Brian Wilson) 2. Crazy, Classic, Life 3. Take a Byte 4. Jane’s Dream 5. Screwed (Ft. Zoë Kravitz) 6. Django Jane 7. PYNK (Ft. Grimes) 8. Make Me Feel 9. I Got the Juice (Ft. Pharrell Williams) 10. I Like That 11. Don’t Judge Me 12. Stevie’s Dream 13. So Afraid 14. Americans

[@blazepetty3689]

I'm truly loving these Retro Vibes!

[@brendaartgirl]

Same 💛♥️

[@Vanessa-iq3vt]

hearing a band play this live would be ethereal.

[@kaymaya5134]

Oh definitely! 😩😭

[@earthling-liliac]

That album is priceless 💜💜 she deserves every awards on earth 💜🙌🏾👑🙌🏾

[@karasays01]

Janelle Monae is one of the best artist with visuals and the best production in her music.

[@KDUBLaTigre]

This might be my favorite song on the album. 😍

[@dizzeechannie]

That rhythm has me feeling so euphoric!

[@indiesongwriter5474]

So far, I love all of this album. The melodies fold in and out in unexpected ways.

[@danielparrott8339]

This is like falling into a funk kaleidescope! I like the way all the layers are constantly in danger of coming apart at the seams.

[@alice-ij7fu]

I can't get enough of this song!

[@1mochadelightable]

I love her music it feels like an extension of Prince. One of his children....

[@lanamcco9715]

So she kinda is one of his kids. Janelle's father is a well known photographer and spent a ton of time photographing Prince. So she knew Prince since she was a child and he mentored her! She was able to give him a copy of this album and get his blessing before he passed, fun fact.

[@hyperuraniofilms]

80's Vibe. Very Madonna. Looks like at the end Janelle will be the next Queen of Queens

[@peacefreedomandwealth]

Sounds like Sophie Ellis-Betor except from accent.

[@vanitysmirror]

Actually it's Stevie wonder living for the city.

[@shanta824]

Ricardo Gonzalez I love it👄

[@peacefreedomandwealth]

Synths are similar, but nothing else.

[@EddsWorld69]

Sounds like more like Love Rollercoaster

[@YujiItado]

Liked at 0:00 cause you know this about to be 🔥 🔥

[@anxiousperson3325]

John Tarr please never comment something like that again it physically pained me to read that

[@brandonramirez6439]

anxious person is it that deep

[@damienjones2105]

Lol ok ❤

[@tripallen7507]

I’m digging the retro vibe and this song is 🔥🔥🔥

[@GetGlamFam]

Yes! Just got the notification that Dirty computer released! Can’t wait to hear it all! 🙌🏽

[@GetGlamFam]

Yoandri Dominguez Garcia yup, that’s my skin tone, that’s what I use. Surely this isn’t foreign to you, right?

[@GetGlamFam]

Yoandri Dominguez Garcia my privilege 😂😂 I have no control over the eyes of the emojis but when they come out with emojis with my type of eyes, I’ll be exhausting my “privilege” there too.

[@ithinkimightabandonthischa8747]

HYPE!

[@djmarvinmattos8308]

Album of the year!!!

[@kermitken1]

😍😍😍😍 I love how part of the song is inspired by Midnight at the Oasis. I grew up on that song, I love how Janelle incorporated it into her song. She’s so creative and crafts music so well!!!!! 😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@Mencrisse2]

I find the melody is very similar to Ohio Players Love RollerCoaster! kzbin.info/www/bejne/b4erZ6x6bd-imK8

[@carlosconesa]

Instant favorite.

[@shanta824]

dirty good!!!!:o

[@peacefreedomandwealth]

Extremely catchy. Should be a single and make a hit.

[@2girlzr1]

Bring me back to the 80's girl!!!

[@ignaciogutierrez9376]

That ending... OH MY GOSHHHHHH 💞

[@jacleensmith7742]

Hands down. My favorite song on the album next to I Like That.

[@mirkovukoslavovic2636]

Jac'leen Smith yup me too. I like them too. I was surprised when she released I like that. Both smooth and confident songs.

[@reynardedwards6882]

greatest ARTIST of the new generation!!!

[@sevinisthe1]

I haven't heard a song like this in long ass time . Amazing arrangement .omg fire

[@blablablair1]

Such a sexy bass groove from Thundercat. Love it!

[@joelcoool]

omg all this time i didn't know it was thundercat wtf!!

[@alayahfenty]

loved it at 0:00 😍😍 the beat is so fun an energetic

[@joymechell277]

Watching her dirty computer special now on BET 😍😍

[@ignaciogutierrez9376]

ugh your so lucky i dont have that channel :(

[@joymechell277]

I'm a Mellark maybe someone will upload it ....she really went all out with the visuals 😍😍😍

[@spottieottiedopalisciousan3333]

I rarely watch TV, so I decided that I didn't need one. I'm currently regretting my decision. 🙃 Did you enjoy the Dirty Computer special?!

[@kya7566]

I watched it earlier on MTV it was good!!

[@ignaciogutierrez9376]

she's so amazing she needs to get recognized more often.

[@chelsiclark549]

The love of my life Stephen "Thundercat" Bruner is playing bass on this! 😍😍😍😍💗💗💗💗🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

[@ameliastrommen5185]

Delectable pop genius candy

[@shanta824]

Amelia Strommen mmmm good 👄

[@sabrinasjourney]

Wow, very different vibe from last album! Hearing some Toto influence ;)

[@joeydebow]

one of my favorite songs of all time! i am going to drop a comment every time i listen to it

[@derrickharris8050]

I love the flow and the groove. It's definitely got that "Purple " influence. Waiting for more

[@yuvalsela4482]

janelle monae is THE ARTIST of our time

[@dayman2711]

The transition from Crazy, classic, life to this tho! So smooth

[@sanyrub]

My gosh the album is amazing but I think this one song is my very favorite! Amazing! Such good vibes from beginning to end. Album of the Year material.

[@alayahfenty]

kind of reminds me of Prince's "Raspberry Beret"

[@mollycatherinepost]

Alayah Fenty ok same

[@stevilknieval8605]

totally that album

[@peacefreedomandwealth]

no, it's different

[@latoyanicolethefaceslayer4555]

Alayah Fenty Exactly!

[@tbhall23]

I would say more MGMTs Electric Feel, but see both songs in there. Excellent.

[@bcpr9812]

This is midway between some funk and some disco, flavoured with smooth R&B vocals. I feel like, if there's ever a video to go with this song, it should involve a very gay, very sparkly, afrofuturistic roller rink on a busy night... and waacking, if this is fast enough for waacking.

[@thomasnicolas3115]

My favorite track from this amazing album

[@tylerboelens713]

Black Lives Matter! Black Lives Matter! Black Lives Matter! Black Lives Matter! Black Lives Matter! Black Lives Matter! Black Lives Matter! Black Lives Matter! Black Lives Matter! Black Lives Matter! 🧡

[@garryjamespickford9453]

One of the best albums ever made, all you need is ears.

[@sxippydennison3577]

It’s just so genius, I weep that such creativity as this has been bestowed upon me!

[@briannaetienne7918]

My new favorite song ❤️

[@earthling-liliac]

Goddammit it's the best album of the years 💜💜👑

[@ericblowtorch]

Third listen today, and it's got its tentacles around my heart. Bravo, genius. Five for five.

[@kym1439]

I keep going back to 2:48. The whole song is amazing, but everything after is AMAZING

[@DeckyStrikesBack]

3:43 is my favourite bit

[@monroeindigo9017]

The beginning of This Song sounds like A Stevie Song😍😩 or maybe because I just got done listening to Stevie’s Dream, he’s stuck in my head

[@vanitysmirror]

Monroé Indigo you're right it's living for the city. By Stevie wonder

[@jeromebernal9492]

MGMT - Electric Feel

[@neomolefe6210]

Too nice!!! Beautiful talent

[@zamary4737]

Wow, on second listen, I still stand by my first impression on this. It really reminds me of Stevie Wonder's Living for the City. I love it!

[@chucku00]

Yup, mixed with Prince's Mountains.

[@maimohamed3590]

I really love the art cover of the album😍😍👏

[@nordgare]

My favorite off the album! ❤

[@TC-ym1vk]

It's just mountains and the sea... and Janelle living for the Nice city.

[@Mahogui.]

This is true. This is part of me. Thank you Janelle Monáe 😍

[@mywildestaddiction]

this is already a classic, lord save this queen!

[@bittrblasian244]

Sounds like something you'd hear in an 80s coming of age movie 😍😍😍

[@macdabluepanther]

Janelle Monae' dope af!

[@jaytshirtjunkys]

It's like Stevie Wonder and Prince had a jam session!!!

[@glitter_and_gold1583]

Love this so much!!

[@yeronmyradar]

Love this song!

[@latoyanicolethefaceslayer4555]

Reminds me of Raspberry Beret by Prince!

[@luanmarques212]

I'm so obsessed with this song.

[@MissHilPaige]

Will be seeing Miss Monae for the third time on 8/5! Probably the only artist I've had to see any chance I get. This song is definitely my favorite on Dirty Computer. So deliciously naughty and raw, I love the groove. Definitely my new makeout jam. haha.

[@christopherlewis7115]

I know I want to help myself to all these songs. Keep them coming, Janelle!

[@NileSings]

The Bass makes my heart race!

[@R0DisG0D]

It's probably too early to tell, but this might become one of my favourites from the album.

[@erikasjankovskis8745]

[@urpupdixie6101]

Yess the future funk sound is gorgeous 😍

[@gregbiker3127]
