One of the best pop songs I've heard in a long time and a unique sci-fi story theme. Apparently the whole album is meant to be a lyrical sci-fi adventure.
From the site:
Suspend disbelief for a moment, as you're dropped mid-pursuit into a soaring sci-fi soundtrack. The lush orchestration experiments with elements of musical theater, funk and the dirty south. At one moment, Monáe's voice takes on the metallic trill of Shirley Bassey, the next she's an ethereal siren, followed by a bluesy soothsayer. "No alter ego for me, this android definitely exists," says Monáe of Cindi Mayweather, the heroine of The Chase. Mayweather, she explains, is an "Alpha Platinum 9000 android." She is on the run because she's fallen in love with a human being, a situation that is verboten in the future landscape of Metropolis.
