Janelle Monáe covers the Summer 2009 issue of Paper Magazine.
Excerpt:
“I try not to get too caught up in who I am,” says Janelle Monáe, her signature hairdo a wedge of nappy-chic, small legs crossed primly, hands clasped at the knee as if she were sitting at a tea party for the queen. “I try to find that balance of taking care of self and being selfless. [But] I do find comfort in embracing things that might make others feel a little uncomfortable.”
Singer/Songwriter Rob Thomas teamed up with Bloomingdale’s and rock n roll lifestyle brand Lyric Culture on a limited edition apparel collection that debuted June 30th in New York. The line launched at Bloomingdale’s in conjunction with the singers second solo album titled “cradlesong” and features designs inspired by previous Thomas smash hits including “Streetcorner Symphony” and “Smooth”.
