Janelle Monáe exposes it all on the latest cover of Rolling Stone.
In an exclusive interview with the publication, Janelle Monáe, who is non-binary, pansexual and says her pronouns are she/her, they/them and “free-ass motherf**ker,” opened up about her “new era of liberation.” “I’m much happier when my titties are out, and I can run around free,” she said. “Even when I was really, really wearing only suits, I was either in a suit or you would find me at my own parties naked. It was no in-between.”
Elsewhere in the conversation, the R&B singer spoke about her upcoming album, The Age of Pleasure, “It was inspired by all of my friends, my community of folks who are from South Africa, Ghana, Nigeria, the Caribbean, Atlanta, L.A., Chicago. Seeing all of us together in our Blackness, in the love that we had in our eyes for each other.”
She added, “It’s beautiful that I have a title called ‘The Age of Pleasure’ because it actually re-centers me. It’s not about an album anymore. I’ve changed my whole f**king lifestyle.” See related posts below.
