Janelle Monae "Q.U.E.E.N" Music Video

Janelle Monae has unleashed upon us the funky video for her new single "Q.U.E.E.N". The song will be featured on the singer's second studio effort, "The Electric Lady" and it features Erykah Badu telling us that the' booty don't lie'. In the video, Monae is a part of a notorious rebel crew Wonderland along with accomplice Baula Oblangada, who become unfrozen and turn the museum on its head. Her signature androgynous look is on full display and she also gets a bit feminine with the bob wig.
