Janelle Monaé seems like extra of a film star than a pop star at this level, however their monitor report in pop music stays spectacular. They’ll add to it this summer season with The Age Of Pleasure, their first album since 2018’s Dirty Computer. There’s no tracklist out there but, so I don’t know whether or not it contains Monáe’s latest single “Float.” It undoubtedly options “Lipstick Lover,” the brand new single out at this time.
“Lipstick Lover” is a sensual celebration with a video to match. With a bouncing reggae beat, they sing all about how a lot they get pleasure from when a lover leaves lipstick marks behind. The visuals, directed by Monáe and Alan Ferguson, are vivid and roughly NSFW. An announcement from Monáe:
As we enter into The Age Of Pleasure, “Lipstick Lover” is our freeassmothafucka anthem impressed by f.a.m. for f.a.m. This is our oasis made with love, rooted in self acceptance, throbbing in self discovery, and signed with cherry purple kisses from me to you.
Watch under.
The Age Of Pleasure is out 6/9 (good) on Wondaland Arts Society/Atlantic.
