Janelle Monae is BACK with a VENGEANCE with her latest STEAMY video for ‘Lipstick Lover’!

“This is our oasis made with love, rooted in self-acceptance, throbbing in self-discovery, and signed with cherry red kisses from me to you,” the singer said in a statement to NME. “Lipstick Lover” is, Monáe decreed, “our freeassmothafucka anthem inspired by f.a.m. for f.a.m.”

The video would best be described as a queer oasis, set at what appears to be a pool party in paradise. After Monáe is woken up with a kiss, the singer can be seen embracing a woman’s ass, taking an exceptionally sensual hit off a blunt in another woman’s hand, and masturbating on a bed covered with candy-colored sex toys. And that’s not even the half of it, nor does it account for the cornucopia of gloriously queer action throughout the video that doesn’t even involve Monáe. 

“Lipstick Lover,” and the video’s explosion of tropical eroticism, feels like both the opposite of Monáe’s early aesthetic and a natural evolution of their body of work. Centering pleasure (even, or especially, while fighting back against oppressive regimes) has always been Monáe’s M.O., but that pleasure was not explicitly named as queer until well into their career.  [source]

Take a LOOK at the STEAMY visual below!

‘Lipstick Lover’ is the first effort from their first album in five years, ‘The Age of Pleasure’.

As Monáe said of their forthcoming era, “Titties out for the next 15 years.” 

The Age of Pleasure will be released on Atlantic Records on June 9.
