Janelle Monae reflects on pansexual coverage. Blossoms: Behind the scenes of album two. Happily, she has recovered from her on-stage Coachella mishap and is sitting no more. Ticket information appears below. Welch, 29, spoke with the Union-Tribune by phone from England about her proudly offbeat, baroque style of pop, getting older, quitting drinking and no longer hiding behind metaphors and fantasy in her songs. Here is the complete interview. To begin with, you go up to that great nightclub in the sky.
You can only sit down and talk with one of them. Who would you pick and why? When I first became interested in music, the emotion and sadness behind her voice was always so captivating. I listened to it so much and was so drawn to it, to her life and that whole era of music, of jazz. She was such a great singer. The blues is the truth, and everybody ought to be able to deal with the truth. A: I think very much so, yeah. And, as I get older, something in you evolves.
That holds especially true with this record. I think I tried to write about my life on my previous albums. But, because of fear, I would hide behind metaphors and disappear behind fantasy, which was wonderful to use my imagination. But getting older meant the songs became much more direct and literal.

The title track's orchestral coda is worthy of Trevor Horn's wildest fantasies. No matter how tormented these songs get, they let her show off with grand, arching vocal lines, leaping deftly across her registers. There are going to be a lot of disappointed karaoke singers signing up for "What Kind of Man" or "Delilah", then discovering that their range is nowhere near Welch's. This is a huge, sturdy record, built for arenas—the band is among the headliners at this year's Bonnaroo, Roskilde, Lollapalooza and Governors Ball—and it's richly and carefully enough constructed to endure the extensive exposure Welch's heartache is going to get over the course of this summer.
