Janelle Monaé premieres the music video for her new single “Dance Apocalyptic.” The eclectic performer showcases a new look, as she wears she hair down, and rocks a more contemporary all white outfit. A rare look for Janelle, who is known for her high bun and black and white tuxedo uniform. The new visual for the retro inspired party anthem, is an excerpt from a larger short film called The Dance Apocalyptic, set in an alternate version of present-day America.
In this alternate universe, citizens wear Heart-Hats— birdcages on their heads, complete with colorful chirping birds. This treasured custom of wearing Heart-Hats has lasted for centuries…
But as of late, the music of the electric lady Janelle Monáe has many fandroids questioning tradition, tossing their destroyed Heart-Hats into the streets, fighting conventional social norms and breaking out by any means necessary… To make matters even more interesting…in the area of South Sweet Falls, in the home of the perfect housewife Lisa Cage, it seems the apocalypse is finally at hand… Her son refuses to eat his peas. Her daughter refuses to wear her Heart-Hat. And is that a zombie on the front yard?
