2014 single by Janelle Monáe featuring Solange
"Electric Lady" is a song by American psychedelic soul and R&B singer Janelle Monáe featuring singer Solange. It was released on July 30, 2014 as the fourth and final single from Monáe's second studio album, The Electric Lady. It uses the "Sunny" chord progression.[1]
The song serves as the title track from the album and is one of the more up-tempo tracks on the album. Taking on the concept of female empowerment, "Electric Lady" focuses on the need for women to be themselves while at the same time maintaining self-control over their bodies and sexuality; therefore, taking the power over women's bodies from men. As with her song, "Q.U.E.E.N.", Monáe raps the climax portion of the song to further get her point across. She describes an electric lady during the rap section claiming, "She can fly you straight to the moon into the ghettos/Wearing tennis shoes or in flats or in stilettos," and "Illuminating all that she touches, eye on the sparrow/A modern day Joan of her Arc, or Mia Farrow."
