Janelle Monae Unveils The 'Age Of Pleasure' New Album & Single
New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Janelle Monáe, music's foremost freeassmuthafa, has shared her scintillating new single, "Lipstick Lover," available now via Wondaland Arts Society/Atlantic Records. An official emotion picture, directed by Janelle Monáe and Alan Ferguson, premieres today on YouTube.

Arriving on the heels of her showstopping Met Gala appearance, "Lipstick Lover" heralds the arrival of Monáe's hugely anticipated new album, THE AGE OF PLEASURE, due out June 9th.

THE AGE OF PLEASURE also includes the acclaimed new single, "Float (Feat. Seun Kuti + Egypt 80)." Hailed by Pitchfork as "swaggering, brass-heavy...the sound of a top-tier talent doing a little victory dance," the track is joined by an official dance video streaming on YouTube.

To celebrate the launch of this new era, Monáe graced the March cover of EBONY Magazine, which stated, "the singer-songwriter returns to music as their fullest self...we're perhaps witnessing the queerest, and by association, the Blackest, of Monáe's eras yet..."

"Float" - which Monáe initially teased on her hugely popular Instagram - was first heard late last year as the official anthem of ABC/ESPN's NBA Saturday Primetime campaign, with Janelle contributing voiceover narration to promo spots highlighting the biggest matchups and stars in the league.

The track was used extensively throughout all NBA coverage through mid-March, spanning promos, Primetime matchups, in-game placement, social media, and more. In addition, "Float" was featured in an animated piece marking Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James surpassing Kareem Abdul-Jabbar for the #1 spot on the NBA's all-time regular-season scoring list, shared across ESPN's socials and James' Instagram to reach more than 275M combined followers.

Janelle Monáe is without question one of the most celebrated artists of the modern era, an 8x GRAMMY Award-nominated singer, songwriter, producer, performer, and fashion icon known worldwide for her inimitable style and visionary sound.

With multiple celebrated albums, THE ARCHANDROID (2010), THE ELECTRIC LADY (2013), and DIRTY COMPUTER (2018), numerous critically-acclaimed theatrical and television performances, and her unwavering activism for social justice and the LGBTQIA+ community, Monáe continues to be one of the most compelling and important artists of this generation.
