Albums Janelle Monáe - The Age of Pleasure

[Ethnic Vagina Finder]

Seems like she was transitioning into acting. That would’ve been the better play.

 

[Da King]

Seems like she was transitioning into acting. That would’ve been the better play.

Mentally it’s obvious she now fully invested in acting, she’s good so I don’t blame her. This album seemed like something she’d make to play during catering as BGM

 

[AMcV'88]

cute summer album

 

[Mowgli]

Flop

 

[Piff Perkins]

Miss her old self. Seems like she's switched up completely to fit a more mainstream image. This "singer/rapper" shyt that Beyonce started is fukking terrible.

She been dressing like a butler making throwback music for over a decade man. Why should she do the same thing again. Do I think this feels forced and corny? Sure. But is it truly anymore corny than her previous style, the sci fi stuff, etc? I remember trying to play some of her music at functions and getting clowned. The project sounds more palatable from what I've heard, without going full blown Summer Walker/SZA/etc like most r&b today. I can't be mad.

 

[Elim Garak]

Is she fukking on cam yet?

 

[Mag Wheel]

Archandroid almost seems to be made by another person entirely

She’s now TRASH, this is a generic as it comes

Yeah. I don’t know what happened to her. She has a nice voice and image but her production went to shyt after the first album. Not feeling her on trap drums and shyt. There is a song or two on here that are cool but this project isn’t great.

 

[Chris Cool]

I like a few songs, but this shyt is lazy as hell.

I don't think it was whack, but after we set such a bar, it was regression. We were ahead of our time and turned our space ship around to come back to earth to simply fit in.

Album reminded me exactly of this Cee-lo quote talking about world party.

This album and visuals are pretty much in line with her last project from 2018

 

[ShaDynasty]

Its an easy listen. Not bad at all but also not as creative/impressive as her previous albums.

Shes really a great artist, I hope she continues with music even though shes getting a lot of acting work.

The Archandroid on her Hollyweird tropicana shyt

...how do you fumble a Grace Jones, Sister Nancy, and Nia Long feature

First it was lazy nu-age wrappas, but now "singers" are doing half verse/chorus 30 seconds songs

She’s now what she hated when she first started her music career

What did you play? I didn't hate Dirty Computer, but it just seemed too poppish. Happy that she's still making music (figured that she was making the move to full time actor). I loved Electric Lady and hope that her sound moves back to that direction.

She never hated it. That perception is why she stopped being that.

Many Moons lol. This was around the time the EP came out.
