Over 5 years have separated fans of multi-hyphenate diva Janelle Monae from her last album, 2018’s ‘Dirty Computer,’ but now the GRAMMY-nominated songstress is ready to end the wait by uploading a new album to streaming services.

Titled ‘Age of Pleasure,’ the announcement of the June 9-due set was supercharged by the unveiling of the music video for its housed single ‘Lipstick Lover.’

“All the songs were written from such an honest space,” she recently said of the forthcoming project. “I’ve had my age of depression. I’ve had my age of anxiety. I’ve had my age of struggle. And again, it’s not like life is pleasurable every single day, but I think I have actively just sought out. How do I create a space for myself? How do I redirect my mind on how I’m thinking about things? How do I realize that right now, in this present moment, moments that we’ll never get back, this is where you need to find your pleasure? This is your moment.”

An ode to the sensuality of women, the ‘Lipstick’ video will certainly get lips moving as it highlights the openly queer star’s appreciation of the beauty of a few female co-stars.
