On August 11, Atlanta hosted a combo of musicians who are not only reshaping the city's
increasingly diverse music scene, but dismantling
preconceptions of popular music as a whole. Gnarls
Barkley returned home for a sold-out crowd at Variety Playhouse and,
on the eve of her national debut on Bad Boy Records (a extended version
of the Metropolis: Suite I she's been selling independently), Janelle
Monae teed them up.
Everyone's soon-to-be favorite tuxedo-sporting, Big-Boi-beloved cybergirl Janelle Monáe is finally gearing up to release the next installment of her multi-suite Metropolis project. The upcoming Paste cover gal will release Metropolis: The Chase Suite (Special Edition) Aug. 12, the follow-up to last year's, Metropolis: Suite I of IV.Contests.
