Janelle Floats

For Janelle Monáe, embracing their nonbinary identity contributed to their musical and creative liberation, allowing them to invent, thrive, and evolve.

“Float” is an anthem of liberation and possibility.

 
In an interview with Ebony, Monae shares, “…in order to float, you have got to let some things go and open up room for new possibilities and for a new version of who we can be. My hope is that Black people can listen to this as a soundtrack that elevates them—that in their happiest of times, they want to put it on and really ascend to the highest, most beautiful version of who they can be.”
