Come June 9, Janelle Monáe will return with her fourth studio LP, The Age of Pleasure, a 14-song effort with additional appearances from Seun Kuti, Doechii, Amaarae, Grace Jones, and more. Not long after the album makes landfall, the “Lipstick Lover” will head on tour in support of the release, hitting up several dates throughout North America.
In an interview for REVOLT’s “Tour Tales,” FOH Engineer Amanda Davis, who worked with Monáe on her past couple of headlining tours, opened up about the most impressive thing that she’s seen from the Kansas City talent onstage.
“We were doing some festival and up until the last minute, we didn’t know if she could make it, and she eventually got onstage and killed it,” Davis said. “Janelle can sing, and it takes a lot to sing. She had just had food poisoning, and came up there and did a whole show. That was amazing.”
