Janelle Monáe, music’s foremost freeassmuthafucka, has unveiled the music video for “Water Slide,” from her latest album entitled “The Age Of Pleasure.”
The vibrant, sun-soaked visual exudes a playful and carefree vibe, reminiscent of the viral video for the fan-favorite track, “Lipstick Lover”. Monáe co-directed both videos alongside frequent collaborator, Alan Ferguson.
Monáe will celebrate her new era with “The Age Of Pleasure Tour”, getting underway August 30 at Seattle, WA’s WAMU Theater and then traveling North America through mid-October.
Produced by Live Nation, the 26-city tour will make stops at such historic venues as Morrison, CO’s Red Rocks Amphitheatre (September 7), Chicago, IL’s Byline Bank Aragon Ballroom (September 14), Toronto, ON’s Massey Hall (September 21), New York City’s Radio City Music Hall (September 26), Brooklyn, NY’s Kings Theatre (September 28), Nashville, TN’s Ryman Auditorium, (October 3), and Atlanta, GA’s Fox Theatre Atlanta (October 6) before culminating at Inglewood, CA’s YouTube Theater (October 18).
