Dirty Computer by Janelle Monae
Dirty Computer is an album by Janelle Monae, released in 2018. 5 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 32 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Make Me Feel”, on 22 lists with a best position of #2.
Dirty Computer, Janelle Monáe's third album, arrived on April 27, 2018, through Wondaland, Bad Boy and Atlantic, and it marks a clean break. After two albums built around the Cindi Mayweather saga, this is the first to leave that story behind, and it trades the psychedelic swirl of her earlier work for a tougher, poppier blend of funk, hip-hop, R&B and neo soul, with flecks of synthpop, new wave and Minneapolis soul.
"Make Me Feel" slinks and struts, "Django Jane" is a flat-out rap showcase, and "Pynk" and "I Like That" rounded out the four singles. A 46-minute narrative film of the same name came out alongside it. The album entered the Billboard 200 at number six, landed in the top three of seven year-end best-album lists and earned a Grammy nomination for Album of the Year.
