Underachieving US soul star Janelle Monae has premiered a brand new track, 'What Is Love'. Listen below.
Taken from the soundtrack of new animated movie, Rio 2, the track is an upbeat, tropically-themed tune which fits perfectly with a movie about cartoon birds and their improbable adventures. Listen to 'What Is Love' below.
Monae recently missed out on a BRIT Award, losing out to Lorde in the Best International Female category at the 2014 event. She was never, ever going to win. She's not holding that against her UK fans however, as she returns to our shores for three live shows in May, 2014.
Dates for her mini-tour are below. For more information, visit Gigwise Gig Tickets.
7 May - Manchester, Academy 1
