A visually stunning story of a young woman named Jane 57821, who is living in a totalitarian near-future society where citizens are referred to as computers.

But with Dirty Computer-the film accompanying her album of the same name and coming five long years after her groundbreaking album The Electric Lady-Monáe finally lets us into her head and shows us a little more about her worldview.

Janelle Monáe's years-long Afrofuturistic artistic vision that began with her groundbreaking ArchAndroid persona is finally and fully realized in this accompanying visual project for Dirty Computer. A lovely celebration of the beauty in imperfection.

Very well done. Not a genre of music I'd normally expect to like, but this is good, as is the film making.
