The News & Observer interviewed Erykah Badu. Janelle Monae got a mention:
Q: Are there any new artists that you really like?
A: Janelle Monáe. She's featured on the Outkast album "Idlewild." She has her own solo project. She's pretty creative and theatrical in her approach to the music business, and she also has her own ideals and political opinions. And then there's also this chick named Kimya Dawson. You can hear Kimya's music in the "Juno" film. Kimya is totally free to me. I love it. I'm encouraged. She's totally inspiring to me. I've never met either of these people, but I'm a fan.
