R&B soul singer Janelle Monáe has announced a summer tour in support of her new album Dirty Computer. The tour will kick off June 11th in Seattle and will hit major cities including Los Angeles, Nashville, and New York before concluding in her hometown of Atlanta August 4th. Tickets will go on sale in most cities Wednesday, May 2nd. See the list of tour dates below.
The singer has also released the video for her song “I Like That.” It is the fourth song released from the new album, following “Make Me Feel,” “Django Jane” and “Pynk”.
The visually appealing video shows Monáe in multiple outfits and multiples of her. Dirty Computer is set to be released April 27th with a 44-minute short film releasing the day before on MTV and BET. In a Rolling Stone interview, Monáe describes the short film as “..a near-future story that takes place in a totalitarian society.” I play a citizen, living life, finding love, being myself in a society where that makes me an outlaw, something ‘dirty’ that the society needs to get rid of. I think it speaks to where we are right now, and what we’ve gone through recently as black millennials, and as women, and as Americans.”
