Victoria Monét just announced her sophomore album“Frequency of Love”and released a gorgeous new single called“Reach Out”to mark the occasion. Produced by the acclaimed duo Kaytranada and D’Mile, the track explores that complicated territory between past and present, painting a picture of two people living separate lives while caught up in the fantasy of reconnection. The production is smooth, the lyrics are relatable, and the vibe is unmistakably R&B at its finest.
What makes this release even more exciting is the music video, which channels the best of’90s R&B aesthetics with direction from Dave Meyers and choreography by Sean Bankhead. The visual storytelling brings the song to life in a way that feels both nostalgic and completely modern. With 22 tracks coming on October 2nd, and her previous single“Let Me”already topping the Adult R&B Airplay chart, Monét is clearly building something special. The momentum matters, especially while she’s simultaneously holding down tour dates supporting Bruno Mars across Europe.
The album cover itself is an artistic statement, with Monét posing in a bold way adorned with layered gold jewelry. It’s the kind of creative risk that signals this is a thoughtful, intentional project. If“Reach Out”is a preview of what’s coming, October’s going to belong to Victoria Monét. Which songs from her first album are you hoping she builds on with this new project?
