Last night in Papantla, Mexico, Janelle Monáe (who recently performed with the Experience Hendrix Tour in Atlanta, GA) went full-Hendrix with a cover of Jimi’s Axis: Bold As Love classic “Little Wing.” Monáe delivers a dead-on rendition of the guitar god’s most beloved ballad, though she adds a sultriness that makes her “Little Wing” sound like it was re-imagined by one of Prince’s Paisley Park protégés.

From RollingStone.com:
Jimi Hendrix exploded our idea of what rock music could be: He manipulated the guitar, the whammy bar, the studio and the stage. On songs like “Machine Gun” or “Voodoo Chile,” his instrument is like a divining rod of the turbulent Sixties – you can hear the riots in the streets and napalm bombs dropping in his “Star-Spangled Banner.”
