Janelle Monáe is so creative and talented, I really admire her! That's one of my favorite songs of hers.

Yees! I like her very much too! I LOVE all of her old albums and songs like Tightrope, Sincerely Jane, Closer, and Cold War. I haven't heard music like hers in AGES. It's creative, political, and catchy!

I was wondering if the rumours were true that she considers herself pansexual instead of bisexual...I would be rather sad. :(

Though, I am not sure if that's fans putting words in her mouth because many were trying to say she was non-binary and she said she wasn't.

She's sorta like Prince and is more of the old school hippy---she stated she not a man nor a woman, but an "experience"---which I think she's talking in music talk lol.

Thank you for sharing! I'll have to check out those artists/songs later. :)

Are you currently listening to one of those artists intensely? If so, what song do you recommend?

If you haven't been listening to them lately, what music/artist have you been listening to?

You're so very welcome! Hope that you'll find some music here that appeals to you.

Of these artists, I'm probably most into Panic! At the Disco & Placebo; my recommendations for their stuff would be:

  • P!ATD "Collar Full"; "Don't Threaten Me with a Good Time"
  • Placebo: "Every You Every Me"; "Running Up That Hill"

But, I've also been listening to these non-bi (at least as far as I know!) artists of late:

  • 30H!3: "STARSTRUKK"
  • Chet Baker: "The Thrill Is Gone"
  • blackbear: "idfc"
  • Bring Me the Horizon: "Ludens"; "Wonderful Life"
  • City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra: "The Thing" [movie theme by Ennio Morricone]
  • Raul Esparza: "Being Alive" [by Stephen Sondheim]
  • Grey Daze: "B12"
  • Adam Jensen: "I'm a Sucker for a Liar in a Red Dress"
  • Leisure: "Got It Bad"
  • The Pretty Reckless: "Heaven Knows"
  • Sacred Caves "Slomo"
  • Scissor Sisters "I Can't Decide"
  • She Wants Revenge: "Tear You Apart"
  • Soul Coughing: "Super Bon Bon"
  • Tin Sparrow "On and On"
  • Unlike Pluto: "Addict"
  • UPSAHL: "People I Don't Like"
  • Weird Al Yankovic "Party in the CIA" [less bubblegum and more black ops than Miley's!]
  • The White Stripes "Seven Nation Army (Glitch Mob Remix)" [better than the original!]

(and a tip o' the hat to music-guru ElectricSheep for introducing me to many of these!)

How about you, Peach? Have you been listening to anything/anyone lately, music-wise?

Isn't Janelle Monae feminine tho? To be considered "gnc" that is. Alongside calling herself that.

I'm not really the one to look into musicians' backstories in case I discover something and get a new view on them. But, the "bisexual anthem" by Domo Wilson is pretty neat. I would also say Doja Cat but her case is questionable.

She used to be rather gender non-conforming by performing in her suit only as tribute to her dad. She also had a "pompadour" which is traditionally masculine.

Not sure what she's like nowadays, may be more feminine now.

Yeah! I liked Domo Wilson's song and lol Doja Cat has interesting songs. She makes a lot of songs that sound like she's trolling.

Ah, so that's what happened. I was confused on why she was considered such... Majority of pictures I have seen of her were feminine.

Yeah, Doja Cat is a strange case. That's why I'm pretty iffy about her. Not for the music, but other things.
