Janelle Monáe, ‘Django Jane’
Published February 27, 2018
Headline: Janelle Monáe shows off her rap skills on her uncharacteristic single, “Django Jane,” a promo single from her third, full-length studio album, ‘Dirty Computer.’
Verdict: 4 out of 5 stars: “Clearly, ‘Django Jane’ is Janelle Monáe at her most unapologetic. Uncharacteristic it may be, ‘Django Jane’ is jam-packed with action. It’s different than anything she’s recorded, of course she proved she could rap on ‘Q.U.E.E.N.’”
