Janelle Monáe on the YouTube Stage: Monáe’s fourth studio album, The Age of Pleasure, dropped this summer and what a pleasurable listening experience it is. “The Age of Pleasure Tour celebrates Monaé’s critically acclaimed new album, The Age of Pleasure, available now via Wondaland Arts Society/Atlantic Records.” “Water Slide,” “Lipstick Lover” and “Float” are the singles that have been getting all of their attention, but album tracks such as “Black Sugar Beach” are equally impressive. Dreamer Isioma and Nana Kwabena also perform.

Monáe recently enlisted Latto and Quavo for a stunning remix of "Champagne Shit."

Produced by Nate “Rocket” Wonder with Additional Production by Nana Kwabena and Sensei Bueno for Goodhouse Dojo, the original version of 'Champagne Shit' has proven a popular standout from THE AGE OF PLEASURE with over 11.6+ individual global streams thus far," reads the press release. "Monáe is currently celebrating THE AGE OF PLEASURE with her blockbuster The Age of Pleasure Tour, produced by Live Nation and continuing through mid-October. Remaining highlights include Atlanta, GA’s Fox Theatre (October 6) and San Francisco, CA’s Bill Graham Civic Auditorium (October 17)."

Janelle Monáe on the YouTube Stage: The event takes place at 8 p.m. on Wednesday, October 18 at the YouTube Theatre.
