PrimeTime ft. Miguel
This might just be the best duet you’ll hear all year. Bold words I know, but despite what initial trepidations you may have, you’d be hard-pressed to find a more talented pair of vocalists out there right now. One reason why it works so well is that Janelle Monáe and Miguel are able to share the spotlight effectively without stepping over each other’s toes, which is a tough feat to accomplish in compositions like this. The soulfully charged ballad tugs on your heartstrings through lyrics like “It’s a primetime for our love/ Ain’t nobody peeking but the stars above,” making “PrimeTime” the perfect tune as you wrap up your summer romance. Ready yourself for the release of Monáe’s The Electric Lady set to drop on September 10th with additional features from Prince, Erykah Badu, Solange Knowles, and Esperanza Spalding.
