Janelle Monáe, music’s foremost freeassmuthafucka, has shared her hugely anticipated new album entitled “The Age Of Pleasure” via Wondaland Arts Society/Atlantic Records.
Executive produced by Janelle Monáe, Nate Wonder, Chuck Lightning, and Sean “Diddy” Combs, “The Age Of Pleasure” includes such new singles as “Champagne Shit” “Phenomenal (ft.
