Janelle Monáe feat Erykah Badu - Q.U.E.E.N.

R&B chanteuse Janelle Monáe teams up with Soulful diva Erykah Badu on this rousing funky R&B track. The two singers complement each other perfectly from the verses to the ad-libs. This song is a nice fusion of classic, old school R&B and contemporary R&B/Pop. The sweet production is absolutely hypnotic. This should be a big radio and club hit.

Erykah Badu - Honey (Ron Trent remixes)

Although "Honey" was the lead single off of her 2008 album Nu Amerykah Part One (4th World War), the Ron Trent mixes were only released last month. Ron transformed the R&B song into a laidback, festive Disco/House gem. Erykah's warm vocals sound great with a club-oriented production such as this one under them. Ron's production is simply brilliant.
