The video is directed by Alan Ferguson aka Solange’s hubs … Here’s more info on Wondaland Records and their roster via their press release: Wondaland Records, a new movement and recording label created by award-winning global superstar and visionary Janelle Monáe, has teamed with Epic Records, a division of Sony Music Entertainment, to announce the launch of a landmark joint venture partnership. Featuring an electrifying roster of artists — Jidenna, Roman GianArthur, Deep Cotton, and St. Beauty — the news of this partnership signals a seismic shift in music and culture that will be felt for years to come. Wondaland Records is launching with the release of its dynamic first single, “Classic Man” by Jidenna featuring Roman GianArthur , the song will be impacting radio and the world at large February 16th. “Classic Man,” will serve as the lead track on the Wondaland Records compilation arriving in May. The compilation will also contain the new single “Yoga” by Janelle Monáe featuring Jidenna. “The collective talent of the Wondaland artists is awe-inspiring,” said LA Reid, Chairman and CEO, Epic Records. “I haven’t personally witnessed a collective that sounds and looks this special in quite a while. I’ve been a longtime supporter and friend of Janelle and it is an honor to now work with her as a visionary businesswoman who brings an all-star group of talented performers to the table.” The multi-faceted collective of Wondaland Records artists— all of whom write and produce, a rarity in music today—features a breadth of voices, styles, and figures coming together with a shared mission for revolutionizing the future of music, arts, and culture that is creatively unmatched. “I’m so thrilled to share Wondaland Records with the world. Each artist under Wondaland Records has unparalleled talent, incredible vision, and brings something unique to the music industry,” said Janelle Monáe. “Together, we’re creating a new movement and space for the future of music and pop culture. I’m honored to be partnering with Epic Records and my friend LA Reid to present such extraordinary talent.” The son of a Nigerian chief and an American anthropologist, Jidenna is an East Flatbush, Brooklyn-based lyrical wizard, a thought leader with charisma to spare. His worldly origins inform the groundbreaking genre Swank, an elegant and funky take on hip-hop that transforms ordinary parties into sweaty soirées. Musical iconoclasts Nate ‘Rocket’ Wonder and Chuck Lightning are the mad geniuses behind Deep Cotton. They are thinkers and tinkerers whose approach to sound creates a rollercoaster ride, taking the listener through a world of falsetto-filled funk, rule-breaking ideas baked in rock ‘n’ roll, and served up in hip-hop, all in the span of a single song. Their sole mission: give you the license to freak out. A curious and brilliant composer, arranger, and producer, Roman GianArthur’s music is courageous, feisty, and consistently touches the soul. His live show is a revelation—wild, heroic guitar playing, outstanding vocals, intoxicatingly original movement, and a rare charisma possessed only by the greats. Featuring Alex Belle and Isis Valentino, the enchanting sound of St. Beauty feels timeless. Thoughtful musicians and songwriters, they weave together melodies that are impossible to forget and evocative lyrics that paint richly textured emotional stories, casting a spell over the listener that cannot be broken. The inter-disciplinary approach to creativity that the brilliant members of the Wondaland Records roster possess has far-reaching implications for pop culture beyond music— a range of paradigm-shifting art of all kinds is slated for release throughout the remainder of 2015 and beyond. Congrats to Janelle on being a mogul!!!!!

Sister Wives Season 5 Episode 14 saw another nice polygamist family discuss with Kody Brown & Co. the possibility of bringing another wife into the fold. Wow. Wuld the affable patriarch ever he consider such a bold move? Would Sister Wives then have to be renamed My Five Wives Too? Watch Sister Wives Season 5 Episode 14 Online As Sunday’s Sister Wives Season 5 Episode 14 got underway, Kody and Christine continued their long-brewing fight as their final destination approached. Talking for them is easy. Getting to the root of the problem isn’t. Especially when Kody sort of dodges any responsibility for the fight and instead puts the blame on Christine’s PMS, which he says makes women insane. As a man who calls four wives his, you’d think he’d know better. Yes, hormonal shifts are real and can influence moods, but when your wife expresses real disappointment and pain over a decision that you made? Pretty sure that warrants more than a PMS-related dismissal. Even Janelle – sweet, demure, quiet Janelle – couldn’t take this crap anymore and silently but notably walked out while Kody was spewing his nonsense. Hopefully this was all a teachable moment for him in the end. Soon enough, Kody, Meri, Janelle, Christine and Robyn gain some perspective from the Colliers, as we meet Nathan Collier, the head of the household. He has two wives and eight children, three of whom are grown. “I dated them at the same time, courted them at the same time,” Nathan tells the Browns of how their family came together, and he’s not apologizing for it. “We’re not going to hide our family,” Nathan explains of his polygamy. “The people who accept it, that’s great. The people who condemn us, we dismiss it.” “We don’t give them a second thought,” he said. As for courting another wife now, he seems to think it’s time. Kody doing the same? That’s likely to meet a bit more resistance from his wives … right? Follow the link to watch Sister Wives online and see how they respond to that very topic, and whether Kode-Man will be sleeping on the couch tonight. Sister Wives Cast: Through the Years 1.
