Janelle Monáe took to social media to share the tracklist for her new album, The Age of Pleasure. It features contributions from Grace Jones, Sister Nancy, Amaarae, Doechii, Nia Long, Ckay, and Seun Kuti and Egypt 80 (on “Float,” which has already been released).

Monáe ushered in The Age of Pleasure era back in May with a raunchy video for the song “Lipstick Lover.” Out tomorrow via Wonderland Arts Society and Atlantic Records, the new release will be Monáe’s first full-length project since 2018’s Dirty Computer.

To support the new record, Monáe will kick off a North American tour in Seattle on August 30. Check out Monáe’s Instagram reveal of the tracklist below, and find those tour dates here.
