Janelle Monáe is celebrating sex, liberation, and pussy power in her latest video ‘PYNK.’

The pink-tinted video sees the singer dancing in the desert, working out, having a sleepover, and kicking it at a diner with her girls — a squad of flawless Black women — as she sings about the power of pink.

The singer describes the video as “a brash celebration of creation. self love. sexuality. and pussy power!”

“PYNK is the color that unites us all, for pink is the color found in the deepest and darkest nooks and crannies of humans everywhere…” the description for the video says. “PYNK is where the future is born….”

Tessa Thompson also makes an appearance in the video, popping up in the fold of Monáe’s ruffled pink pants. The pair have worked together before with Thompson appearing in Monáe’s “Make Me Feel.”

“PYNK” is another collaboration between Monáe and Grimes, the pair last worked together on Grimes’ Art Angels track “Venus Fly.”
