Hotter and Sexier: And how! This album sees Janelle at both her most free and also her most sensual and sexual.

comment
New Sound Album: The sonic landscape of this album is heavily influenced by Afrobeats as well as Reggae and calypso music. It's quite the departure from the electronic-oriented sounds of her previous work.

Nipple and Dimed: The album’s cover art is often censored to cover Monáe’s freed nipples.

N-Word Privileges: Janelle uses it much more loosely than she ever did before on this album. Hence the the page quote.
