Music Video Of The Day: Janelle Monáe Feat. Big Boi 'Tightrope'

By Lisa White in Arts & Entertainment on Jul 9, 2014 10:20PM

We've always enjoyed Janelle Monáe soulful take on modern R&B and pop and she is true firecracker live, just bursting with happy energy. Few acts could make us to brave the Taste, and she is surely one of them. Monáe will be taking the stage at Petrillo Music Shell tomorrow night with Gary Clark Jr. as part of the Taste of Chicago's music lineup this year. Seated tickets are $25 and still available and lawn seating is free. Make sure to wear your dancing shoes and channel the video for "Tightrope" tomorrow night.

Since you apparently can't watch music videos on television anymore, we'll showcase one here daily. There's no rhyme or reason, time or season, to which video we'll choose. Have a suggestion? Contact us at tips@chicagoist.com.
