Janelle Monae’s video for her latest album’s title track “Electric Lady” will make you wish you could go back to college, even if only for one night.

In the video, Ms. Monae and her “Electro Phi Beta” sorority sisters throw a house party complete with stepping, line dancing, and a college marching band! The school, “South Atlanta” also is full of alum you may recognize including Monica Brown, T-Boz, Estelle, and T.I.

Monae shines throughout rocking a cute crew-neck crop top and full afro of curls instead of her normal tux and pompadour.

Check it out above.
