Since her Album “The ArchAndroid” release, Monae has toured with Prince and Amy Winehouse. She’ll open for Katy Perry in September, and her co-headlining tour with rising star Bruno Mars kicked off last week in New York.

“I’m very inspired right now, this (new) album will definitely change lives.”

Janelle and Bruno Mars are labelmates. They performed a medley together at this year’s Grammy Awards, along with rapper B.o.B.

Monae says she’s excited to share her music with Mars’ fans and says they can expect surprises and more onstage.

“Our shows are very high-energy, and you don’t see that a lot. I would love to see it more – you know, when you have the artist crowd-surfing and giving their all. And there are a lot of great shows out, but what we’re doing is not being done.”

Some people talk about ya 
Like they know all about ya 
When you get down they doubt ya 
And when you dip it on the scene 
Yeah they talkin’ bout it 
Cause they can’t dip on the scene 
Whatcha talk about it 
T-t-t-talkin’ bout it 
When you get elevated, 
They love it or they hate it 
You dance up on them haters 
Keep getting funky on the scene 
Why they jumpin’ round ya 
They trying to take all your dreams 
But you can’t allow it ..
