For the first time in a half-decade, Janelle Monáe will be releasing new music as the actor-singer announced her next album, The Age of Pleasure, and a new single, “Lipstick Lover.”
Monáe has been teasing The Age of Pleasure for months now, and the album will be released on June 9. The album also features “Float” — the single featuring Seun Kuti and Egypt 80. This marks her first album since 2018’s Dirty Computer and her fourth total full album.
Janelle Monáe is a multi-faceted talent and an extraordinary one at that. She has been nominated for eight Grammy Awards throughout her career. Since making her voice-acting debut in Rio 2 (followed by her live-action film debut in Moonlight and Hidden Figures in 2016), Monáe has acted in a bevy of high-profile projects. Perhaps the biggest of them all is Rian Johnson’s Knives Out sequel from last year, Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery. Monáe pulled double duty in that film, playing a set of sisters named Andi and Helen Brand in the film and went toe-to-toe with the likes of Edward Norton, Dave Bautista, Kathryn Hahn, Leslie Odom Jr., Kate Hudson, Madison Cline, and, of course, Daniel Craig.
