Diddy Signs Janelle Monae To Bad Boy

New York, NY. (Top40 Charts/ Atlantic Records) - Sean "Diddy" Combs has announced the signing of acclaimed new artist Janelle Monae to Bad Boy Records, via a pact with Monae's Atlanta-based record label, the Wondaland Arts Society. Monae is an experience: a charismatic singer, songwriter, producer, and performer whose innovative style crosses musical genres in a captivating postmodern merger of R&B, funk, and rock 'n' roll.

Janelle Monae makes her solo recording debut with the groundbreaking "METROPOLIS" project, with Antwan "Big Boi" Patton serving as Co-Executive Producer. An epic musical journey into the future, the project will be unveiled with the release this June of the "METROPOLIS SUITE" EP - which introduces Janelle's android alter ego, Cindi Mayweather, as she lures the listener into her sci-fi inspired world of cybersoul. "Metropolis is the place I've been dreaming about all these years - a city inside your head," says Janelle. "It's an adventure the music brings to life." Monae's debut full-length album will follow in September.
