Janelle Monáe has announced a new album: It’s called Dirty Computer and will mark her first album since 2013’s The Electric Lady. While a release date has not been set for the album, a trailer for the project, which includes an accompanying “film narrative,” will air in select theaters before screenings of Marvel’s Black Panther, which is now showing. (She’s calling the project an “emotion picture.”) Today, Monáe has shared the first online teaser for the project, in which she stars alongside Tessa Thompson and others. [x]

Lorde | Million Dollar Bills

It’s not about just being out with all our people
Cause we can get in trouble just by going free throw
And now I’m letting you know

hey if you’re having a hard time right now, listen to this song. it’s truly incredible.

Anyway, here are the lyrics, because this song reads as poetry:

Sometimes in the morning I am petrified and can’t move
Awake but cannot open my eyes
And the weight is crushing down on my lungs
I know I can’t breathe
And hope someone will save me this time

And your mother’s still calling you insane and high
Swearing it’s different this time
And you tell her to give in to the demons that possess her
And that God never blessed her insides

Then you hang up the phone
And feel badly for upsetting things
Crawl back into bed to dream of a time

When your heart was open wide
And you loved things just because
Like the sick and the dying

And sometimes when you’re on,
You’re really fucking on
And your friends they sing along
And they love you

But the lows are so extreme
That the good seems fucking cheap
And it teases you for weeks in its absence

But you’ll fight and you’ll make it through
You’ll fake it if you have to
And you’ll show up for work with a smile

And you’ll be better and you’ll be smarter
And more grown up and a better daughter
Or son and a real good friend

And you’ll be awake, you’ll be alert
You’ll be positive though it hurts
And you’ll laugh and embrace all your friends

You’ll be a real good listener
You’ll be honest, you’ll be brave
You’ll be handsome, you’ll be beautiful

You’ll be happy

Your ship may be coming in
You’re weak but not giving in
To the cries and the wails of the valley below

And your ship may be coming in
You’re weak but not giving in
And you’ll fight it
You’ll go out fighting all of them
