September 10 can't get here fast enough, y'all. That's the day that Janelle Monae drops Suites IV-V of her ArchAndroid saga, also known as her new album The Electric Lady. Monae has just released the cover artwork and tracklisting for the album and (as if collaborations with Prince, Miguel and Erykah Badu weren't enough) it will feature Solange on the eponymous track and Dungeon Family cohorts Cee Lo and Big Boi on a remix.

We've heard snippets of "Dorothy Dandrige Eyes" at Monae's live shows, but the full version with Esperanza Spalding should be spectacular.
The real news, however, is a Prince collaboration titled "Give Them What They Love." I'm sweatin' already.
What do you think of the cover art/ tracklist for The Electric Lady?
