"PrimeTime" - Janelle Monáe ft Miguel [YouTube Official Video]

Janelle Monáe's duet with Miguel, "PrimeTime" has finally gotten an official music video on YouTube. Read the YouTube description below for some of the Electric Lady science fiction backstory that explains what's happening in the futuristic strip club full of robotic dancers and jerk clients.

The song "PrimeTime" is a really nice slow jam. It's got touches of electronica, reggae, and soul / R&B. A soft ballad with subtle melodies that are really soothing to hear along with the occasional vocal gymnastics that aren't too overdone.

Janelle Monáe - PrimeTime ft. Miguel Directed By: ALAN FERGUSON

PrimeTime is a love story based on the early adventures of Cindi Mayweather (Janelle Monáe) and her first love Joey Vice (Miguel.) The Emotion Picture gives a glimpse at Cindi's humble beginnings as a "cyber-server" at the Electric Sheep nightclub, a syn bar serving high-class "show droids" to the rich and lonely in a dangerous section of Metropolis known as Slop City. Incidentally, the innovative cybersoul music played at the club directly impacted Cindi, and she began singing and performing her own innovative compositions a short time after quitting this assignment. In addition, Cindi became determined to change the public perception of what an electric lady could be, dream and aspire to after working in the dismal conditions at the club.
