Developed over time first seen 2 months ago
Victoria Monét has announced her sophomore album, "Frequency of Love," due for release on 2 October via Lovett Music/RCA Records. To mark the announcement, the R&B singer released a new single, "Reach Out," produced by Kaytranada and D'Mile, alongside a video directed by Dave Meyers with choreography by regular collaborator Sean Bankhead.
Monét had previously previewed the new era with the track "Let Me," which topped the Billboard Adult R&B Airplay chart. Producer Camper is serving as executive producer on the album, though further details remain scarce. The announcement came as Monét was wrapping up her supporting slot for Bruno Mars on the European and UK leg of "The Romantic Tour," including three dates at London's Wembley Stadium on 24, 25 and 28 July. She rose to mainstream prominence with her 2023 debut album "Jaguar II," which produced the hit "On My Mama" and earned her seven Grammy nominations, three of which she won in 2024, including Best New Artist.

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.
