Janelle Monáe has revealed that her upcoming sophomore album The Electric Lady will feature a guest appearance by the Purple One himself, Prince. In a newly published interview with Billboard, Monáe says, “We are great friends, and he is a mentor to us, to me. It’s a beautiful thing to have a friend—someone who cares about your career, and wants to see you go far and to push boundaries and shake up the world—give whatever they possibly can to the cause.”

Unwilling to share the name of the track the two worked on, Monáe did go on to say, “I had a chance to produce an icon. It’s not every day that he collaborates. I’m honored and humbled that he trusted me. He is forever my friend, and I am forever indebted. I can’t say too much else about it.”
