I love Janelle Monae collaborations. This much is clear. That said, it’s been more than a year since The Archandroid came out. For the sake of aesthetics itself, she needs to release another album.

So I was understandably skeptical of her use of time when I heard her collaboration with Fun, on “We Are Young.” Of course, she and the boys from Fun proved me wrong – it’s an enjoyable, light track that her vocal presence only improves.
