Janelle Monáe - 'The Age of Pleasure'


Recommended Posts

Posted

I don't know how long has it been since the release but it might become on of my favorite albums this year. I understand why people might be dissapointed but for me the way the songs change so fast and kinda work like a mixtape is the reason why I love it - it's fresh and keeps you interested.

the way it grew on me? insane. her brightness on this record is so contageous. once you fall for its charm, there’s no turning back. 

 

definitely not as orchestral and cinematic as her previous albums, but the transitions are great and the highlights are amazing, sexy, catchy, funny, courageous, impetuous. it has been my go-to album for a while now.

 

highlights are black sugar beach/phenomenal, the rush, water slide and know better. :clap3:

This is cute but by far her worst album lyrically, sonically and production wise. This is such a huge down grade from Dirty Computer - almost every song on this record sounds like a transitional interlude!

I still listen to this album daily :clap3:

Champagne ****/Black Sugar Beach, Phenomenal and Water Slide are those tracks

Posted

I finally listened to it. Thanks for reminding me haha

It's quite decent as a whole, don't think I'd play anything as a standalone as of now

Posted

I understand it’s not as conceptual as Dirty Computer, but I still think this is a really fun record. Champagne **** is one of her best. I just wish it was a bit longer and it’s frustrating how lots of the songs are randomly spliced 

Posted

the replay value of this album is insane. it definitely is her best and as usual a cohesive a body of work. I do wish 'Black Sugar Beach' was extended or a full song.

My take on the album has changed so drastically after having on it on repeat for  this entire beach week. Sonically, it’s sooo warm, breezy, catchy, and easy to listen to despite the minimal productions.  The album is a major grower, and it gets better with every listen. 
 

my one major complain still though is the fact that the majority of these songs are so short and don’t really stand out on their own, but they works together so unexpectedly and flawlessly as a whole album listening experience. This album is ONE MAJOR VIBE - definitely my summer album of 2023! Love it so much

Only Have Eyes 42 is probably her best. beautiful.
