A distancia de unos días del lanzamiento de la versión ‘Simply Irresistible“, grabada en ocasión de los premios Oscar 2014, Janelle Monae publica un nuevo single inédito titulada ‘What Is Love’, que puedes escuchar a continuación (con la letra oficial más abajo):
Se trata de una nueva canción que será incluida en la banda sonora de la película de animación ‘Rio 2′, en que Janelle participa también prestando su voz a uno de los personajes del dibujo animado.

A continuación, la letra de ‘What is love’:
What is love
If it’s not with you
I know when you’re alone you feel it too
In your arms is where I long to be
Cause being with you gives me sanity
Listen to me darling
I wake up every morning
Thinking bout the way you feel
I wonder if you know it
And what good is the party
If you’re not around
Listen to me now
What good is love
If it’s not your love
What good is love
If it’s not your love
What good is love
If it’s not your love
What’s a song
If you can’t heart it too
Can’t imagine dancing without you
A shooting star, ain’t really nothing to see
In the brighest night, be nice to me
Listen to me darling
I wake up every morning
Thinking bout the way you feel
I wonder if you know it
And what good is the party
If you’re not around
Listen to me now
What good is love
If it’s not your love
What good is love
If it’s not your love
What good is love
If it’s not your love
What is love
If it’s not with you
I know when you’re alone you feel it too
In your arms is where I long to be
Cause being with you gives me sanity
Listen to me darling
I wake up every morning
Thinking bout the way you feel
I wonder if you know it
And what good is the party
If you’re not around
Listen to me now
What good is love
If it’s not your love
What good is love
If it’s not your love
What good is love
If it’s not your love
What’s the song?
What’s the words?
If it’s not with you
If it’s not with you
You can’t give it to
I know when you’re alone
You’ve got to feel it too
Ho, yeah, oh, yeah
What is love
Listen to me darling
What is love if it’s not with you
