Fresh from Glastonbury, Janelle Monae is in Manchester and what a show it was...

It's rather apt that Janelle Monae arrives on stage here in Manchester dressed like a very large bouquet of flowers. For the American artist, storyteller, actor and activist is very clearly in full bloom.

And she does it all while making everyone in her thrall feel better about themselves, with her relentless messages of body positivity, joy and empowerment, making us all sing back that we're Phenomenal too. She hails all her band as “her heroes”, and they are the brilliant foil to everything Monae puts into this show - her incredible dancers either side, the brass duo, the drums, the bass and guitar, all are as one with the vibes of this feast of a performance.

To quote her own song, she is so impressive, she is so phenomenal. Quite frankly she is.... everything. She can even outgurn Les Dawson, I mean what a human, what a Q.U.E.E.N.
