According to Monae, the songs in "The Age of Pleasure" were written from such an "honest space."

"Even with this album, this project. I'm just like, 'You know what? It takes work.' I have to learn things all over again. I have to practice. I have to... and thank God I love the songs," she said in a statement to Rolling Stone.

For Monae, she wanted people to feel her presence when listening to her music. The "Hidden Figures" actress said that she had an "opportunity" to evolve and grow throughout her break.

"Sometimes it really is just saying, 'You know what? Let's get back to the basics, and also let's honor the present.'"
