My paper explores persona in Janelle Monáe's music by investigating the transformation of identity over her career. Monáe's first three albums (2007-2010) portray an android looking to liberate marginalized people. Upon the release of Dirty Computer (2018), Monáe sheds this android persona and prioritizes one of self-expression. Through a survey of literature, I examine the android in popular culture (Jordan 2016), its significance in feminist studies (Haraway 2004), and how Monáe uses it to deliver overt implications of racialized and gendered injustices (Yates-Richard 2021). I then present two analyses of her music videos: Tightrope (Feat. Big Boi) (2010) and Make Me Feel (2018). I apply a cross-domain analysis of the lyrics, music, and images using Lafrance and Burns' analytical model (2017). Building from BaileyShea (2014) and Maultsby (2015), I contend that the videos build toward celebratory anthems of underrecognized communities, thus allowing the personas to portray different levels of intimacy.
