Janelle Monae in Essence Magazine

Janelle Monae is featured in the November issue of Essence. Flawless.

Listen to "Mr. President," the singer's ode to a "once and future" president that is taken from her debut EP "Metropolis: The Chase Suite." "Dear Mr. President, I hope you got the letter I sent. A dollar only goes so far, and we need health care, no matter who we are," she sings.

Make sure to catch Janelle, Chester French, Pharrell Williams and Common in a special report on CNN in which they talk about the presidential elections. You might catch a glimpse of Arjan Writes as well. It will air on Saturday between 9-11 p.m. ET.
