The Age of Pleasure is the fourth studio album by American musician Janelle Monáe. It was released on June 9, 2023, through Atlantic Records, being the singer's first studio album in over five years, since Dirty Computer (2018). The album was preceded by two singles: "Float" featuring Seun Kuti and Egypt 80 in February 2023 and "Lipstick Lover" in May.[3] The album was announced alongside the issue of the second single, which Monáe first previewed at their Met Gala after-party.[5]
Upon release, The Age of Pleasure received positive reviews from critics, who praised its joyful mood and Afrobeat and reggae inspired sounds, though it was criticized by some as inferior to Monáe's previous records. It debuted at number 17 on the Billboard 200 while charting modestly in several other countries. The month following, the single "Water Slide" was released. In support of the album, Monáe embarked on the Age of Pleasure Tour, beginning in August 2023.[6]
At the 66th Annual Grammy Awards, the album received nominations for Album of the Year and Best Progressive R&B Album.
