評点(rating)		（5点満点 fullmark :5）
前作あたりで女性R&B Vocalの実力トップに上り詰めた感もあるJanelle Monáeの5年ぶり4作目。当作も、クオリティの高さを見せているが、長めにインターバルをとっていることが、好影響になってると思う。制作は引き続き、Nate "Rocket" Wonder,が中心となり、相性の良さが良くわかるが、アルバムの全体感はガラッと変わっていて、レゲエ/ダンスホールやアフリカ的なリズムの曲が大半を占めており、純粋なR&B曲は無い。そのぶん、アーシーで、US以外の世界まで取り込んでいく意欲が感じられ、それはSean Kutiをはじめとするゲスト陣のセレクションにも現れている。リズミカルでノリの良いが多数であり、快楽的なLyricも相俟って、コンセプト的には、一味違うパーティーアルバムを目指しているようだ。
