Janelle Monae has announced a new album: It’s called Dirty Computer and will mark her first album since 2013’s The Electric Lady . While a release date has not been set for the album, a trailer for the project, which includes an accompanying “film narrative,” will air in select theaters before screenings of Marvel’s Black Panther , which is now showing. (She’s calling the project an “emotion picture.”) Today, Monae has shared the first online teaser for the project, in which she stars alongside Tessa Thompson and others. Check it out below.
