Janelle Monáe goes t0pless on album cover
Janelle Monáe, the 37-year-old singer, has released her latest album, “The Age of Pleasure,” with a racy topless album cover.
She shared the artwork on social media, showing herself swimming underwater without a top.
The image features pixelated nipples and the caption “(the clean virgin).”
The lead single from the album, “Lipstick Lover,” was released before the album, and Monáe hinted at the topless photo in a tweet, saying, “Titties out for the next 15 years.”
Monáe’s fans praised the photo in the comments section of her Instagram post.
Trending:
One follower wrote, “Girl you look amazing,” while another commented, “s**y looks good on you!”
In recent days, Monáe has embraced a more sensual look.
Earlier this week, she shared an NSFW video of herself emerging from a pool wearing a wet white T-shirt with the word “PLEASURE” written on it.
She paired the T-shirt with tiny Champion shorts to show off her toned figure.
At the 2023 Met Gala, Monáe sported a pearl-embellished bikini beneath her see-through dress while walking the red carpet.
Later, she danced on tables at an afterparty, showcasing her outfit from every angle.
The “Hidden Figures” star has recently been more open about her sexuality.
Her “Lipstick Lover” music video features scenes involving s** toys and masturbation, which Monáe says reflects her current state of mind.
In an interview with Zane Lowe on Apple Music 1, Monáe discussed how her experiences are reflected in her music.
She explained, “Don’t let it get confused that five minutes later, we’re going to try to go into doing something different.
And again, this is just my experience where I’m at, even though, despite what I may be going through, there’s going to be a moment where this bad moment, I won’t even be around to even discuss it.
I won’t.”
“The Age of Pleasure” is set to release on June 9th.
The album showcases Monáe’s new direction in music and style, which has been more sensual and revealing.
Fans can expect more from the singer in the future, as she continues to push boundaries and explore new aspects of her artistry.
