The result is a dizzying fusion, marked by its lofty ambition and stunning central performance. Yet the kind of hubris Monáe exemplifies ("this album is for the people," she notes) is inseparable from her work; what's more, it is pretty much justified.

Reviews"A sprawling journey of futuristic pop....Throughout the set, sweeping and prancing strings add beauty and drama to a vibrant storyline that centers on love.", Ranked #43 in Uncut's "The 50 Best Albums Of 2010" -- "A hyperactive conceptualist who drew on Bowie and musical theatre as much as Outkast...", "THE ARCHANDROID is a fully immersive, theatrical experience. It's a near-perfect R&B album; hell, it's a fantastic hip-hop, psychedelic, neo-soul, dance and orchestral album too.", "The first listen is mostly about being wowed by the very existence of this fabulously talented young singer and her over-the-top record; every subsequent spin reveals the depths of her achievement.", Ranked #30 in Mojo's "The 50 Best Albums Of 2010" -- "A breathtaking collision of mutant R&B, indie-pop, lysergic psych-rock, hip hop and classical music.", 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "On ferocious songs like 'Come Alive' and the manic neojump blues 'Tightrope', Monáe's charisma and energy are so forceful that the jumble makes perfect sense.", "Janelle Monáe boasts so much shape-shifting talent that she had to invent an android persona just to begin to accommodate it."
Additional InformationThe dynamo's Bad Boy debut has more imagination, conceptual detail, and stylistic turnabouts than most gatefold prog rock epics.
