Janelle Monae is having a ‘Stella Got Her Groove Back’ kind of moment on her new album, The Age of Pleasure. 

The artist, who’s previously created their own world in a trilogy of albums about their journey as an android trying to figure out this place they called home, seems firmly in the here and now – but with that same curiosity to explore.

Grab a fruity drink. Toss in one of those tiny umbrellas. Put on the outfit that makes you feel yourself, and pretend you’re in the tropics ready for some fun as we listen to The Age of Pleasure by Janelle Monae as your Album of the Week on The Current.
