Janelle Monáe is finally ready to release new music.

The singer-actress on Friday confirmed she has a new album on the way. She teased the project, titled Dirty Computer, with a futuristic trailer for a film of the same name. It is currently showing before screenings of the newly released film Black Panther, which is in theaters now.

Dirty Computer will actually be Monáe's first full-length in five years, following 2013's The Electric Lady. She hasn't exactly been taking time off, however, as she's been busy on screen, including co-starring roles in the 2016 Oscar-nominated films Hidden Figures and Moonlight, the latter of which won Best Picture at last year's Academy Awards.

There's no word yet on when Monáe's album will arrive, but the trailer, which features fellow actress-singer Tessa Thompson, can be seen below.
