Core Event: Release of “Frequency of Love”
Grammy-winning singer-songwriter Victoria Monét announced that her new studio project, “Frequency of Love,” will be released on Friday, October 2 through Lovett Music/RCA Records. The album comprises 22 tracks and includes collaborations with Bruno Mars, SZA, Bryson Tiller, Leon Thomas, Chlöe Bailey, Lucky Daye, and a guest appearance by Monét’s daughter Hazel.
Background & Context
Monét’s previous full-length effort, “Jaguar II,” arrived in 2023 and earned three Grammy Awards in 2024. She has cited Michael Jackson’s artistic risk-taking between *Off the Wall* and *Thriller* as a creative touchstone for the new record.
Data & Statistics
- Album length: 22 songs, including previously released singles “Let Me,” “Reach Out,” and “Juicy.”
- Chart performance: “Let Me” topped Billboard’s Adult R&B Airplay chart in June. “Jaguar II” peaked at No. 60 on the Billboard 200.
- Tour: Monét will headline a 27-city North American tour beginning in late October and running through December, visiting major markets such as New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Toronto, and Atlanta.
Official Statements & Responses
She described the album’s thematic focus as a celebration of love in its many forms—romantic, familial, and communal. Monét also addressed the mixed reaction she received after her 2024 Grammy wins, explaining that heightened visibility brings both supporters and detractors, but she chooses to prioritize the voices that inspire her work.
Why It Matters
“Frequency of Love” marks Monét’s first full-length release since her Grammy-winning era, positioning her at the intersection of mainstream R&B and artistic experimentation. The concurrent launch of the Frequency of Love Foundation, a youth-focused initiative on food, agriculture, and wellness, signals an expansion of her public influence beyond music.
