Fast rising retro soul sensation Janelle Monae has confirmed a one off show in London this September.

All the craft seems to have gone out of performing. Gone are the days when kids would watch 'Top Of The Pops' and bust a move, attempting to replicate their heroes on the carpet of the front room.

However Janelle Monae is a graduate of the old school. Her retro soul sounds are devoid of slick production, adding some grit to her songcraft.

Alongside this, though, is the art of show business. Janelle Monae can seriously move, like a young Michael Jackson mixed with something fresh, something modern. Deeply individual, the singer made a number of high profile appearances on American television recently gathering huge acclaim.

Now the singer is focussed on the UK. Janelle Monae recently released her debut album 'The ArchAndroid' a colourful collection of soulful pop. Reaching a small fan base, the singer is now planning a charm offensive on the UK.

British appearances are thin on the ground, with the singer set to play a one off show in London shortly.

Janelle Monae is due to tread the boards in KOKO on September 8th. Support for the show has yet to be confirmed with tickets due to go on sale this Friday (July 30th).

Meanwhile, the singer is plotting a joint tour with Of Montreal. The two acts met recently and struck up a conversation, with Kevin Barnes suggesting a tour. Plans are already being made for the jaunt, which would be an eye catching mixture of two unique talents.

Janelle Monae has confirmed the following shows:
