Explained simply
Victoria Monét is an American singer, songwriter and producer who has spent years writing for other artists before building her own solo career. Her 2023 debut album "Jaguar II," which included the hit song "On My Mama," earned her seven Grammy nominations and three wins in 2024, including best new artist, establishing her as a leading name in contemporary R&B.
She has since been performing as a supporting act on Bruno Mars's "The Romantic Tour," and has been gradually rolling out material for a follow-up album, including an earlier single that topped a US radio airplay chart. R&B releases like this are often preceded by a slow build-up of singles and collaborations with established producers before a full album lands, which is the stage this story fits into.
