Monae unpacks a funk tune that recalls the likes of the late Prince and Sheila E. Her influences from the eighties are clear with each massive synth line and the feeling of raw energy that’s given throughout the song.

Much like her past work, “Make Me Feel” has a flashy mix of modern bounce that meets the old soul. The song is a clear statement of strength, freedom, and continued evolution of an artist who’s appeared in Hidden Figures and the Best Picture-winning Moonlight.
