Janelle Monae Explains Unique Process For Picking Movie Roles

by

Janelle Monae has always been recognized as an incredible musical talent. They have won Grammy Awards and received glowing praise since their debut album in 2010. Something that day one fans may not have expected, however, was Monae’s seamless transition to film. They have proven just as adept at playing pivotal roles in Oscar-nominated releases like Moonlight and Hidden Figures (both 2016). Part of the reason Janelle Monae has managed to transition so well is because they have a very specific process when it comes to picking scripts.

Monae revealed their process during a recent interview with The Guardian. The main point of attraction? A movie role has to have a very specific kind of vibration. “Really, I love to get to know the characters and feel with anything I’m doing,” they told the outlet. “I really have to feel it in my p**ic hairs – they have to vibrate.” Monae pointed to their acclaimed dual performance in the 2022 thriller Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery as an example of this vibration. “My underarm hairs definitely tingled when I got the Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery script,” they quipped.

Janelle Monae Prioritizes Roles That Make Them “Vibrate”

Janelle Monae has a secondary metric for picking movies, and its the director. They had such a good time with Glass Onion director Rian Johnson, that they even voiced their desire to appear in the third installment in the series. “That was exciting, to go to Greece and work with Rian Johnson,” they added. “Who is a wonderful human. I’m so excited for Knives Out 3. I want to be a part of it so badly that I might get plastic surgery and audition as a brand new character.” Given that the Knives Out franchise makes a point of changing its cast each time out, Monae is unlikely to get their wish.

Fortunately, Monae doesn’t need to rely on sequels. The multi-faceted entertainer is set to play the iconic Josephine Baker in the upcoming TV series De La Resistance. The series will be made with A24, and will focus on the period of time in which Baker was a performer and a spy for the French Resistance during WWII. Janelle Monae added a third, more light-hearted metric for how to cast them, and its pretty simple: candy. “I love places that have snacks like Skittles and M&Ms,” they quipped.

Kali Uchis & Her GFs Get High In The “Moonlight” In Her Magical New Music Video

by

During the first weekend of Coachella 2023, many patrons (and even fans tuning in at home), labelled Kali Uchis’ set as one of their favourites. Not only did the bilingual songstress tantalize the crowd with her ethereal vocals, but she also brought out an impressive roster of guests to help her. Among them were Tyler, The Creator, who brought plenty of energy to “See You Again,” as well as Omar Apollo and her boyfriend, Don Toliver.

As the Virginia-born starlet prepares to take the stage again, she has another gift for her listeners. Following the arrival of her Red Moon In Venus album earlier this year, Uchis has finally dropped off a music video for one of the tracklist’s most popular titles, “Moonlight.” The pretty and pink visual sees Kali linking up with friends like Cindy Kimberly for a slumber party, during which they snapped digital camera selfies and shared plenty of laughs.

Elsewhere in the new visual, we see Uchis looking as stunning as ever on the hood of a car while basking in the moon’s glow. “I just wanna get high with my lover / Veo una muñeca cuando miro en el espejo / Kiss, kiss,” she sings on the catchy chorus of “Moonlight.” We also see nostalgic dolls at the beginning of the footage, reflected in the lyrics, “Looking dolly, I think I may go out tonight / I just wanna ride, get high in the moonlight.”

It remains unclear if the same surprise guests we previously mentioned will be joining the 28-year-old for her set later today (April 22), or if she has another roster lined up for attendees to enjoy. Aside from making waves with her own performance, she also joined Kaytranada for his highly anticipated concert at the festival, which also saw the producer tap Aminé. Revisit videos from Kali Uchis’ first weekend at Coachella here, and tell us your thoughts on her new “Moonlight” visual in the comments below.

Kali Uchis And Her Ladies Get All Dolled-Up In Her New ‘Moonlight’ Video

by

Ahead of another glamorous performance at Coachella, Kali Uchis has shared the video for “Moonlight,” a fan-favorite from her third studio album, Red Moon In Venus.

In the video for “Moonlight,” the camera zooms in on a dollhouse, in which, Uchis and a group of her lady friends are seen getting glammed-up with make-up, preparing Uchis for a special night with a certain somebody.

“I just wanna get high with my lover / Veo una muñeca cuando miro en el espejo / Kiss, kiss / Looking dolly, I think I may go out tonight / I just wanna ride, get high in the moonlight,” Uchis sings over a smooth, romantic track.

Later in the video, she is seen dancing on the hood of a car, as she is floating on top of a space river near the moon — fitting for an out-of-this-world performance. Shortly after, a Uchis makes a return to the dollhouse, peering through the window, as if up to something exciting.

Uchis will perform tomorrow night (April 23) on the Coachella stage. She is also set to kick off her Red Moon In Venus tour this coming Tuesday (April 25) in Austin, Texas. During select dates on her upcoming tour, Uchis will be supported by UK pop artist, RAYE.

In the meantime, you can watch the dreamy “Moonlight” video above.

Kali Uchis Releases “Moonlight” Ahead Of “Red Moon In Venus”

by

Kali Uchis season is soon approaching. On Jan. 23, the Columbian-American songstress announced that her third studio album was on the way. Slated for March 3, Red Moon In Venus will be Uchis’ first full-length release since Sin Miedo in 2020. The bilingual 28-year-old has been building up to this release immaculately. With the help of her boyfriend, Houston rapper Don Toliver, her rollout has gone as well as possible.

First, on January 19, Uchis dropped the lead single for Red Moon in Venus. “I Wish you Roses” was Uchis’ first song release since her Sept. 2022 track “O HAY LEY.” Next, she featured on one of her man’s promotional cuts. Don Toliver dropped “4 Me” with Kali Uchis at midnight ET on Feb. 15 as a celebration for Valentine’s Day. “4 Me” was the second pre-released single for Toliver’s brand-new studio album. Love Sick, his latest LP, came out on Feb. 24, just a week before Don’s girlfriend will release her tape.

Kali Uchis’ Latest

Simultaneously with the arrival of Love Sick also came Kali Uchis’ new single. Released at midnight ET on Feb. 24 also, “Moonlight” sees Kali inch one step closer to her big moment. With help on production from pop legend Benny Blanco, the song contains sensual and groovy guitars and drums that set the perfect mood.

“Moonlight” will be the fourteenth of 15 songs on the Red Moon in Venus tracklist. Revealing all the songs on Jan. 26, the album will include feature artists like Omar Apollo, Summer Walker, and, of course, Uchis’ boyfriend Don Toliver. Syncing their album plans up one week apart truly shows the synergy Don and Kali have. Additionally, both these albums are quite an enjoyable treat for fans of both artists.

Quotable Lyrics:

I just wanna ride, get high in the moonlight
I just wanna get high with my lover
Veo una muñeca cuando miro en el espejo
Kiss, kiss, looking dolly, I think I may go out tonight
I just wanna ride, get high in the moonlight
