Janelle Monae has had an interesting career and it looks like more of the same with a new LP called ‘The Age Of Pleasure’ – and if you like your news to come ready made with some new music to listen to, you’re in luck – there’s a brand spanker called ‘Lipstick Lover’ to get your lugholes ’round.

It’s the first album in 5 years, and will be released June 9th.

Her statement about the whole thing is a whole mood: “As we enter into The Age Of Pleasure, ‘Lipstick Lover’ is our freeassmothafucka anthem inspired 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 red kisses from me to you.”

You can tell she wrote that can’t you? Nice to know all announcements aren’t made by a team of people, eh?

For those who enjoy a team of people writing things, this is the press statement: “Muhammed Ali talking shit in Zaire, 1974, Jane’s evolution, Mary Poppins’ umbrella, Aladdin’s magic carpet, Ja Morant’s flotation to the rim while dunking on his ops, Sara Elise’s ropes, excerpts from Paramahmsa Nithyananda’s talks on levitation, Raul’s toast on Dec 1, and Bruce Lee’s mighty philosophy on being ‘shapeless, formless,’ and becoming one with your surroundings, to be like water.”

Indeed.

Here’s the artwork for the new LP (it has boobs on it so there’s some pixelation going on, which is a bit lame, but let’s assume the puritans won’t win on the actual release – we’ll see).

You wanted to listen to some tunes didn’t you? Well, we won’t keep you any further. Here it is. You’ll need to sign-in to your YouTube account to see it because there’s a whole lotta nude ass in it.

Don’t blame us that Google is weird about asses.
