Janelle Monáe launches app which replaces your playlists with her album

Janelle Monáe is jumping on the trend of purging Spotify playlists. She has launched a new app that wipes a playlist of your choice and replaces it with her new album Dirty Computer.

“Feel what it’s like to be cleaned, and update your playlists with me,” Monáe wrote in a tweet announcing the app.

The switch is permanent, so pick your playlist wisely. Probably best not to wipe your endlessly curated party mix or anything. Dirty Computer was released on April 27. It features the singles "Pynk" and was accompanied by a feature-length movie of the same name.
