Queer Jams of the Week: Janelle Monáe, Omar Apollo & More (Billboard)

Welcome to Queer Jams of the Week, featuring new pride music from Janelle Monáe, Omar Apollo, Beabadoobee and more.

That’s a realization baroque pop singer Serpentwithfeet comes to in the middle of “Gonna Go,” his latest near-perfect queer love song. There is a difference between being in a relationship that’s “comfortable” and one that’s actually good. “Momentary Sweetheart” is designed to fool you. Don’t worry, though — while the subject matter may be dour, “Always Get This Way” is nothing but alternative bliss, and one of The Aces’ best yet. On his latest single “3 Boys,” the rising R&B superstar attempts to move on from a relationship, but realizes that there will always be more than one in the relationship. “Float,” then, feels like an anthem to Monáe’s status of consistent fluctuation.

Janelle Monáe, Muni Long, Coco Jones, And More: R&B New Music ... (Vibe)

Janelle Monáe, Muni Long, Theo Croker, and others debut new R&B music.

According to Croker, each track is a “little vignette” for May’s lyricism and vocal stylings to flourish. [Ego Ella May](https://www.vibe.com/t/ego-ella-may/) & D’LEAU – BY THE WAY “What a sweet way to kiss the JAGUAR 1 chapter farewell,” Monét tweeted about her new duet with Bryson Tiller. In November 2007, Justin Timberlake released his “Until The End Of Time (Remix)” featuring Beyoncé. It’s one of those songs like when I heard that Justin Timberlake album I was super obsessed with […] Coco’s on the way and she’s about to snap. Theo Croker and Ego Ella May reunite on their joint EP, BY THE WAY. The production of the remake alters slightly from its predecessor, but it fits Jones and Thomas’ vocal styling like icing on a cake. Long slides in with the question we’ve all asked at one point, “Why you wait until I’m happy?” She later adds, “You was on bull when you had me… “Day and night, I can be there/call me my number still works/You just gotta dial it first,” Ty croons on the chorus. It was only right that we combine all of our talents and make this song.” [OG Parker](https://www.vibe.com/t/og-parker/) linked up with [Ty Dolla $ign](https://www.vibe.com/t/ty-dolla-ign/) and [Muni Long](https://www.vibe.com/t/muni-long/) for their new single, “Still Work.” It’s the third release from Parker’s forthcoming project, Moments. It will continue to appear in NBA ads throughout the regular season.

45s of the week: Lana Del Rey, Janelle Monáe, 100 gecs and more! (The Forty-Five)

Lana is back this week with another track from her upcoming album and all hail the return of Janelle Monáe!

“Tangled in love, stuck by you / From the glue / Don’t forget to kiss me / Or else you’ll have to miss me.” [Beabadoobee](/tag/beabadoobee/) has fallen hard in love and wants everyone to know it. “Call ’em up, come in to my bedroom / Ended up, we fuck on the hotel floor / It’s not about having someone to love me anymore / This is the experience of being an American whore,” she sings, alternating between whispery sing-speak and her intoxicating Americana drone.
