Album Review: Janelle Monáe - The Age of Pleasure

“This continual self-satisfaction might be tiring if Monáe and the production didn’t make it feel so freeing. When they sing “I feel so phenomenal” or “I’m feeling so sexy”, it doesn’t necessarily feel like Monáe saying “look at me!”, it’s more like an invitation for the listener to join them in the mirror and praise oneself for all the beauty we each individually possess.”

I don’t often review pop albums but I had a damn good time diving into the tides of Janelle Monáe’s latest, The Age Of Pleasure. Check out my thoughts over here.
