Janelle Monáe

After appearing in films like Moonlight and Hidden Figures, sci-fi neo-soul diva Monáe returned to outer space on last year's Dirty Computer. The sprawling record features backing vocals from Brian Wilson, grooves blessed by the late, great Prince and songs that reckon with Monáe's pansexual awakening. Expect her wrap the funky, soul-searching songs into a visually-arresting, futuristic live performance.
